Infringement or no infringement?

Trademarks are not just logos or words. Other signs can also be registered as trademarks. Think of a shape (like the Coca-Cola bottle) or a sound (used by film companies). Even the design of packaging can be claimed as a trademark, granting the owner a monopoly on its use. Trademark infringement cases revolve around whether the signs are sufficiently similar, but how extensive is this trademark protection?

We do not only look at the legal side of a case, but also take into account other business aspects such as marketing , social media, the consequences of product launches and of course the costs. We like to think and work out of the box with our client.

In the past, they have been working as in-house lawyers in corporate firms, including in advertising, consumer fast moving products and the pharmaceutical industry.
