ip21 - Brand Protection for the Franchise Industry

A well-protected and strong brand is an essential element of successful franchising, and the use of Registered Trade Marks is fundamental to the process.

Like all property, Trade Marks need to be built on strong foundations and must be looked after during their lifetime to ensure they continue to deliver value to your business. ip21, recommended by Franchise Development Services (FDS) and now an FDS Associate, has a team of Trade Mark Attorneys who can assist you at all stages throughout the life of your brand.

Amongst the services we offer are:
• Advice on basic registrability of brands
• Clearance Searches to check the availability of protection and freedom to use the mark
• Filing for protection in the UK
• Extending protection outside the UK as your business grows
• Watching for third-party encroachments on your protected rights
• Opposing conflicting registrations
• Enforcing your rights against others

ip21 prides itself on high levels of customer service, giving clear, commercially-relevant advice of the highest quality. Our aim is to help you to take well-informed strategic decisions so you can get on with running the rest of your business.

An initial consultation is free of charge.
