Branding
The Branding team are unique in the region in being able to offer an established in-house trade mark and designs filing and advisory practice, dealing with applications, both within the UK and other territories. When appropriate, we are able to use our links with law firms across the world to assist you with your branding strategy.
We can monitor the use of particular brands and report to you on any new activity that might concern you. As part of our branding expertise we provide a range of domain name services including searching, registration and policing.
We regularly act for the creators and procurers of intellectual property and advice on the licensing and buying or selling of intellectual property rights including trade mark and design licences and assignments.
We are specialists in enforcing trade mark rights (including rights in domain names) and defending businesses that are accused of infringing other people's rights. We have a dedicated and experienced anti-counterfeiting team who are used to dealing with problems such as copycat goods.
We have a very commercial attitude to dispute resolution, and when appropriate, we can act as mediators in disputes. We can also provide training tailored to your business on branding issues from the selection of brand names to the creation of a practical policing strategy. Training can be delivered on site, through video casts or in our dedicated training suite. We provide a number of guides on this area free of charge, which are available from our IMPACT blog. http://impact.freethcartwright.com/.
