Do you need to protect your brand name, or secure rights to new inventions or product designs? Have you encountered someone copying your business, or been accused of copying by someone else?
At Tiger Law, we have partnered with leading intellectual property firm Baron Warren Redfern to provide you with the full spectrum of IP services.
With over 190 years of experience in this area, BWR is perfectly placed to help you with your patent, trade mark, design or copyright requirements.
Trade Marks
All businesses which sell goods or provide services to their customers have a trade mark. All the efforts put into producing high quality goods and services, and all the marketing, promotion and advertising, is all invested in that branding.
Your trade mark will therefore serve to attract new customers, welcome back existing customers, and will represent the qualities and characteristics of your business. The very last thing you want is for someone else to start using your trade mark, or something confusingly similar to it. In order to prevent that happening you need to obtain a trade mark registration.
Tiger Law partnered with BWR because we share the same aim: to protect our clients and help them achieve their long-term goals, in this case, looking after their valuable intellectual property.
BWR provides a free hour consultation to all new clients to discuss their requirements, so if you need to speak to someone to investigate protecting your good name, do not hesitate to get in touch.
Patents and Registered Designs
If your business invests in research and development then you need to protect that investment with patents or registered designs to ensure that the fruits of your labour are yours alone to exploit. Patents protect new technical inventions, which can be anything from a new hair clip to a satellite launching system, while registered designs protect the aesthetic appearance of commercial products.
Such registered rights give the owners the power to prevent copying, both by their legitimate rivals and by dishonest counterfeiters. But more than that patents and registered designs also add considerable value to any business, which can be crucial to securing investment or to a successful exit strategy. If you would like to discuss protecting your innovations in this way, you can take advantage of BWR’s free hour consultation.
IP Infringement
Receiving a threatening letter from an aggrieved IP rights owner can be a daunting experience.
Sometimes the complaint is legitimate, and you will need to negotiate an acceptable solution with the rights owner, while other times the complaint is spurious and you will need to rebut it to protect your position. Having quick access to the right kind of help in such situations is critical, and BWR is here to help.
