Our Services
We help businesses develop and maintain an IP strategy that aligns with their commercial goals. This includes trade mark portfolio audits, renewal management, licensing frameworks, and expansion planning.
Overview
Most businesses have more IP than they realise — and less protection than they need. A trade mark here, a logo there, maybe a few domain names. But without a plan tying it all together, you end up with gaps, overlaps, and missed opportunities.
We help businesses get their IP house in order. Whether you’re growing locally, expanding overseas, preparing for investment, or thinking about selling, we make sure your IP portfolio is solid, up to date, and actually working for you — not just sitting in a drawer.
We look at everything you’ve got — registered marks, pending applications, unregistered rights — and tell you where the gaps are. Are your registrations still covering what you actually do? Are there brands you’re using that aren’t protected? We’ll give you a clear picture and a plan to fix it.
Trade marks need to be renewed every 10 years. Miss the deadline and you lose the registration. We keep track of every renewal date across every jurisdiction so you never have to worry about it.
If you’re letting someone else use your brand — whether that’s a licensee, a franchisee, or a distribution partner — you need the right agreements in place. We draft licences that protect your brand while giving you the commercial flexibility you need.
Planning to sell into new markets? You need trade mark protection there before you launch — not after. We map out a filing strategy that matches your expansion timeline and budget, using the Madrid System where it makes sense.
Buying a business? Raising capital? Going through a merger? We check that the IP is what it’s claimed to be — properly owned, properly registered, and properly enforceable. No nasty surprises after the deal closes.
We start by understanding your business — not just your IP. What are you building? Where are you headed? What keeps you up at night? That context shapes everything we recommend. We’re not interested in filing trade marks for the sake of it. Every recommendation we make has a commercial reason behind it.
We’re also proactive. We don’t wait for problems to land on your desk. We flag risks early, keep your portfolio current, and make sure you’re always a step ahead.
