Smart solutions for trademark and design protection

Want to know about the risks associated with using a new brand name or registering a new design? We conduct tailored searches using licensed AI-driven search tools to assess potential conflicts. For trademarks, we check for identical marks or perform full availability searches covering identical and similar trademarks, company names, apps, domain names and online use. For designs, we review existing registered designs to identify possible overlaps or infringements. This enables you to make informed decisions before adopting or applying for a new trademark or design, or considering a rebranding or product launch. 

We evaluate whether your trademark meets formal registration requirements and identify any risks of refusal by trademark offices. This proactive check reduces delays and increases your chances of successful registration. 

Ready to secure protection for your new brand or product design? We advise on the optimal national or international filing strategy, prepare applications, respond to office actions and guide your marks and designs through the application and registration process swiftly and cost-effectively. 

Proactive monitoring is key to safeguarding your brand. Our monitoring services alert you to identical or similar trademark applications enabling prompt action before dilution occurs or conflicts materialise. 

Managing IP – from a single brand to global portfolios – can quickly become challenging. We take on the administrative tasks such as handling renewals, recordals of assignments and licences, dividing of trademarks and other housekeeping duties to ensure your rights remain secure and enforceable.  Through our global CMS network and partner firms, we support you in every jurisdiction – from opposition proceedings in Sudan to trademark filings in the United States of America.  

We analyse the structure of your trademark portfolio to understand the strength and value of brands, which is essential for licensing, transactions, and investment decisions. 

Stay ahead of industry shifts and competitor activity. We deliver one-off or recurring reports on trademark filing trends within specific industries or by selected competitors, giving you strategic insights into evolving brand landscapes.
