IP Enforcement & Litigation

Registration without enforcement is a certificate, not protection. When your mark, work, or invention is infringed, we respond with the right escalation, from a well-aimed letter to proceedings in court.

What’s included

Infringement investigations and evidence collection
Cease-and-desist notices and negotiated resolutions
Opposition, rectification, and cancellation proceedings before the registries
Civil suits for infringement and passing off
Defence when you're on the receiving end of a claim
Civil enforcement at scale, paired with our criminal anti-counterfeiting practice where raids and seizures are warranted

Who it’s for

Brands discovering lookalike products or names
Creators finding their work reproduced without licence
Businesses served with an infringement claim
Companies needing ongoing marketplace and registry watching

Common questions

Someone is copying us. What's the first step?

Preserve evidence (screenshots, purchases, dates) and call us before contacting the infringer. A premature or badly-worded accusation can weaken a strong case.

Do these disputes always end up in court?

No. Most resolve at the notice or negotiation stage. Court is a tool, not the destination; we'll tell you honestly whether yours is a case that needs it.

Process

How it works

Assess

Is it infringement, how strong is your position, and what remedy actually serves your business?

Escalate deliberately

Most disputes end at a firm letter or a negotiated settlement. We escalate when it's warranted, not by default.

Litigate to win, settle when wise

If it goes to court, you'll get frank assessments at every stage, never a case kept alive for its fees.
