Creating and establishing a brand can be expensive. Our brand protection team works closely with a wide range of businesses, from enterprising start-ups to large, global and listed companies, to identify, register, protect and commercialise brand rights.
It is important that your chosen brand can be legally protected and does not infringe a third party’s rights, so carrying out clearance searches before launching a brand is vital. Early searches can save you wasted time and cost if the brand you have decided upon is unavailable. Even if a full comprehensive search is beyond your budget, we can carry out a basic search to help reduce costs.
Boyes Turner manages our extensive trade mark portfolio across multiple foreign jurisdictions. The specialist team is efficient, leverages strong relationships with international agents and provides practical, strategic advice in a cost-effective manner.”
