Most disputes can be closed before court — if the question is put correctly and early. We take a dispute from the point where it still looks like an exchange of letters through to a judgment, if agreement proves impossible.
What people come to us with
- someone else's mark that resembles yours — or a claim that yours resembles theirs
- use of your name, logo, texts, photographs or code without permission
- a domain that repeats your trademark
- breach of a licence or an assignment agreement
- a dispute with the office: refusal to register, opposition to an application
- unfair competition
How we work
- Assessment. We read the documents and the facts and tell you honestly whose position is stronger — yours or the other side's.
- Pre-trial stage. A demand letter, negotiation, a settlement. Faster and cheaper than litigation, and in most cases it is enough.
- Court. If agreement fails, we prepare the claim or the defence and run the case.
- Enforcement. A judgment still has to be enforced; we stay with you for that too.
What matters
We do not take on a case we see no prospect in, and we say so at once. Where the position is weak we propose what actually works: negotiation, a change of sign, a settlement.
We also quantify damages, which may call for an appraisal of the rights.
