Trade Mark Registration & Disputes

Is your creative brand legally protected?

In the cultural sector, your brand is your reputation. Without a registered trademark, you have limited protection against others using similar signs that could confuse your audience. We ensure your logos, project titles, and identities are secured through the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO).

We provide a full-service approach to brand protection for theatre companies, museums, and galleries, from initial clearance to defending your rights.

Our core services:

• Clearance Searches: Deep-dive searches to ensure you aren’t infringing on existing rights.
• Strategic Filing: Selecting the correct classes to cover everything from digital content to live performances and merchandise.
• IPO Management: Handling technical objections or refusals to ensure your mark reaches registration.
• Monitoring Services: Ongoing alerts to identify if a third party attempts to register a brand too similar to yours.
• Dispute Resolution: Drafting Cease and Desist letters and negotiating settlements for heritage sites and dance companies.
• Brand Licensing: Drafting agreements to license your brand to partners or managing legal transfers between entities.

We help local authorities and community projects ensure that the creative work put into a brand remains a protected asset for your organisation’s future.
