Patents, Trade Mark and Designs
We handle all aspects of filing, prosecution and renewal of UK rights across all the disciplines. Whatever you needs, for example, a new patent application, a trade mark opposition or the registration of multiple designs, we take care of the details so you can be reassured your clients’ rights are being handled in the UK with all due care and attention.
UK Representation
Unlike many other firms, we do not make any charge for our UK representation should you wish to appoint SH&P as the UK address for service for any UK trade mark or design rights. For patents, we charge a very nominal fee when validating a European patent in the UK. Try our patent validation service today and see how much you will save.
Oppositions and Disputes
When your clients face objections or challenges in the UK, we step in to represent their interests and take up the fight on your behalf. Our attorneys have significant experience before the UKIPO and in contentious proceedings. Your clients’ rights are strongly defended when under objection or attacked by other parties. When you need us to bring actions against the rights of other parties you can be assured you will be in very good hands. We have an excellent track record and we are proud of it.
Enforcement Support
Infringement matters in the UK require swift and decisive action. We help overseas attorneys enforce their clients’ UK rights against infringers, counterfeiters and bad-faith actors, using the full range of legal remedies available.
Advisory and Portfolio Management
We regularly provide reports, audits and strategic advice to overseas firms on behalf of their clients. This includes portfolio management, clearance searching and risk assessments – all tailored to UK practice and law.
Trusted Partnership
We see our role as an extension of your own. Many of our long-standing law firm clients trust us not only with procedural matters but with complex, high-stakes cases. They rely on us to handle UK issues with professionalism and discretion, always respecting the client relationship.
