Defending

By Marks & Clerk

You don’t always have to go to court to defend your brands. We’ll work with you to guard against others trying to profit from your intellectual assets. We can: - monitor new applications that may affect your trade mark rights - use our experienced anti-counterfeiting team to instruct seizure of goods - work with you to adapt a brand to avoid impinging on a third party prior right - handle all contentious issues relating to trade marks, from oppositions to company name disputes to domains. Our team of specialist commercial lawyers and IP litigators works closely with the brand protection team. Together they help you with pre-litigation strategy and all aspects of litigation and dispute resolution relating to trade marks (including infringement and passing-off). If you choose - or are forced - to litigate, we can help you achieve your objectives in the highest courts around the world through: - obtaining urgent interim injunctive relief - defending you against third parties' assertions of trade mark infringement - seeking to protect your marks from third-party infringers - seeking to defend your marks from the challenges of others.
