The most valuable assets of many companies are their brands. Our trade mark group understands the commercial significance of strong protection for a company's trade marks. We act for national and international clients in many diverse fields, such as beverages, building products, character merchandising, cosmetics, foodstuffs, education, lighting, music, semiconductors, toys and travel.

We secure the necessary trade mark rights for our clients and defend those rights by opposing and cancelling conflicting trade marks. We deal with trade mark matters throughout the world and many clients use us to manage their worldwide portfolios of rights. We have considerable experience of Community trade mark law and of the laws and procedures in countries outside Europe, where we contribute actively to the handling of trade mark applications through our associates in those countries.
