Time to protect your trade marks in Europe

With the government securing an extension until October to agree the terms of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, businesses have been given some breathing space to get their affairs in order.

One opportunity this respite provides is ensuring your business has strong trade mark protections, both within the UK and within the EU.

Having a registered trade mark is beneficial because it means your business can take legal action against another person or business if your brand is used without your permission, or if that business uses a sign or symbol that’s identical or similar to your trade mark.
