Our intellectual property dispute resolution expertise includes patent infringement and validity disputes covering all areas of technology. We have extensive experience in hearings at the Patent Office and Trade Mark Office as well as appeals from Patent Office and Trade Mark Office decisions and trade mark hearings. We also handle trade mark common law reputation based claims, trade mark infringement and validity disputes.
Other areas of specialist expertise include anti-counterfeiting and anti-control measures, design infringement disputes, copyright and domain names.
A trade mark is a sign that distinguishes goods and services of one trader from another. Trade marks can be logos, signatures, letters, numerals, aspects of packaging, shapes of products and packaging, scents, colours and sounds.
When you register your trade mark, others are prevented from using a substantially identical or deceptively similar trade mark in relation to the goods and services for which the trade mark is registered. This is the case even if the trade mark has no reputation, is yet to be used or the unauthorised use is in a completely different industry or market and is not confusing.
Our trade mark attorneys practice in world wide and have access to an established network of international Associates with strengths in specific technical areas. This enables us to offer expert advice and services to any foreign jurisdiction, particularly within the United States, Europe, Asia, Far East and Middle East.
