IP Service
IP Litigation & Enforcement
When someone copies your brand or invention, swift action matters. We handle oppositions, infringement notices and enforcement so your rights stay yours.
Owning an IP right is only half the story. Enforcing it is what protects your business. Our enforcement practice covers trademark oppositions and rectifications, infringement and passing off matters, cease and desist notices, and coordination with counsel for proceedings before the Registry and the courts. We focus on practical, commercially sensible outcomes.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Still unsure? Our assistant in the corner can help, or talk to our team directly.
If your mark is registered, you can act for infringement. Even unregistered marks can be protected through a passing off action if you have reputation. The usual first step is a cease and desist notice, which often resolves matters without litigation.
After a mark is published in the Trade Marks Journal, anyone who believes it conflicts with their rights has four months to oppose its registration. We file and defend oppositions on both sides.
