Trade marks

Trade marks play an important role in establishing brand awareness and loyalty. However, while they may appear to be simple marketing tools, the process involved in their establishment, use, registration and maintenance is less straightforward. Trade mark issues often involve complex areas of legislation, case law and practice. We can:

• advise whether a trade mark can be registered
• conduct searches in the UK and abroad to alert you to any possible problems in obtaining registration, or in using your mark
• file and prosecute trade mark applications
