Trademarkroom Ltd :: UK and European Trade Marks

Why do I need a UK or European Trade Mark?

If you plan on trading in the UK or Europe then you need a trade mark to protect your brand.

The USA is the most commercially influential country in the world and UK and European companies often look to it for inspiration. Therefore it is important to stamp your ownership on your brand and via a registered trade mark, prevent the use or registration of an identical or similar brand name.

Even if you do not plan on trading in the UK or Europe now, it is a commercially sound decision to file a trade mark application. There are two reasons for this. 1) You may wish to expand to these jurisdictions in the next 5 years, with a registered trade mark, you will be ready to go. 2) you will prevent any other UK or European company free riding off of the goodwill established in your brand in the US.

Why should I use the Trademarkroom?

Trademarkroom Ltd is one of just a few British firms which specialise in Intellectual Property. We have a trade mark team which consists of a number of qualified lawyers and various trainee lawyers, all of whom hold Masters (LLM) in Intellectual Property Law. This is one of the highest levels of academic qualification achievable.

Our trade mark team acts for a host of large US companies including a well known fashion retailer and a well know American Football player.

Our relaxed approach combined with our commercial awareness allows us to provide a genuine, effective and efficient service. We work with our clients rather than for them and our aim is to assist each client in achieving commercial success. An example of this is the recent sale on behalf of our client of a brand name to a large well known food manufacturer which was constructed and registered via Trademarkroom Ltdís service .

What links do you have to the US?

Our US attorney Waheedan who originates from Miami has a wealth of experience in trade mark law. Having Waheedan on board means that we are able to deal with US trade mark matters on behalf of US residents. Our service is considerably better value than the service provided by many US attorneys based in the US and without a compromise on quality.
