Trade Mark
Trade mark rights, whether obtained through statutory registration of through use and related reputation, are intended to provide a guarantee of origin for the marked goods/services and to maintain for their owner a market share in the relevant goods/services. Conflict between competing interests can lead to litigation conducted in both the Patents County Court and the High Court and which can centre, in particular, on the questions of the existence and infringement of the trade mark right concerned, and the scope and validity of that right. Partners acting within the trade mark field at WP Thompson & Co. have developed a wealth of experience as members of the team commonly established for conducting such litigation and such experience has been supplemented by formal qualifications such as the Design and Trade Mark Litigators Certificate.
