Trademark Quality from Goldstein Legal -
With so many companies competing for market-share, building a competitive brand is crucial to your success. In order to keep customer-loyalty and generate brand value, a strong, consistent presence is essential.
Many businesses mistakenly assume that registering a domain name will protect their trademark. Unfortunately this is not the case. In a worst case, this can leave you having to change your business name in the face of a trade mark infringement action.
At Goldstein Legal we have specialist expertise in intellectual property. Our experienced commercial lawyers can advise you on trade marks, copyright and other forms of intellectual property, meaning you can get on with building your market presence in complete confidence.
As well as trademark cases, we regularly support clients who are developing their business through licensing. For many businesses, licensing can be a suitable alternative to franchising and we are well-positioned to advise you on the best route to take.
Whether you are a new or established business, we are happy to advise you. For the first step towards making sure your brand is protected, phone us for a no-fee initial consultation on 01753 865165, visit our Brand-Licensing page; or send us an e-mail.
