We have received news that our trademark for Sekoya Specialist Employment Services has been registered!
This is a helpful reminder for any business that if you have not protected your intellectual property, someone with a grudge who may want to ruin your business may attempt to register your trademark first – leaving you in the tricky position of not being able to trade under your own brand.
Thank you Murrell Associates for your help with this!
Rebecca Anforth, IP Solicitor at Murrell Associates says “Trade marks are valuable business assets and it is important to register trade marks wherever possible. Once registered, trade marks grant the owner a monopoly right to use the mark for the good and services covered by the registration. Should a third party start to use the registered trade mark without the consent of the owner, it is far easier (and cheaper) to enforce registered rights than commencing an action for passing off”.
If you need any advice in relation to protecting your IP, do seek legal advice from a qualified specialist solicitor.
