Practice Area
Trade mark, copyright, design and passing-off actions, including interim injunctions and enforcement.
An intellectual property right is worth what its owner is willing to enforce. Trade marks weaken through unpoliced use, and a proprietor who has tolerated infringement for years finds acquiescence and delay pleaded back against them.
We act in trade mark, copyright and design infringement and passing-off actions, in rectification and cancellation before the Registry, and in opposition proceedings. We also act for defendants, including against proprietors asserting rights considerably wider than their registration.
Interim injunctions decide most IP disputes in practice. Ex parte relief, a local commissioner appointed to seize infringing stock, and John Doe orders against unknown sellers are what actually change a defendant's position — and the matter is usually settled long before trial.
