Watching service; ensure your rights
Your trade mark or design is a valuable asset to your business. It can also be a valuable asset to a competitor. A wise competitor will not simply copy you, they will make subtle changes and sometimes they will even try to protect those changes by registration. Occasionally, a potential competitor will also derive an idea independently of your business but which is similar to your trade mark.
By using our Watching Service we can help to ensure you are made aware of anyone attempting register a similar Trade Mark, design, company name or domain name around the world. Our Watching Service gives you the chance to challenge an application before it gets registered and avoids a costly legal challenge.
In a global market, it can also be informative to know what trade marks your competitors are trying to protect - use our Watching Service to keep an eye on applications filed by a particular owner as well as for a particular trade mark or design.
UK Company Names
It is now possible to object to the registration of a company name in the UK, if that company name is too similar to your trade mark. As a consequence, it seems prudent to monitor company name registrations and object to those company names as early as possible. Our Watching service is ideally adapted to keep you informed of all new company name registrations that incorporate your trade mark.
