Trademarks and Intellectual Property

There has been an increasing awareness among clients about the value of branding to their businesses. Branding is as valuable a tool to the medical, dental, veterinary and pharmaceutical business sectors as it is to the consumer market more broadly.

Anyone providing goods or services, whether in return for money or not, under a particular banner or sign should consider registering a mark. In particular, a trade mark is important in establishing brand awareness and is integral to issues of customer loyalty.

We can assist with all aspects of trademark advice including:

  • Clearing a mark for use/advising whether or not a trade mark is suitable for registration
  • Counterfeiting issues
  • Trade mark portfolio management and maintenance.

We will provide a competitive costing at the outset of any matter (which comprises official fees and Lockharts’ own filing and prosecution fees) and can provide additional advice in relation to the marketing of medical, pharmaceutical and veterinary services relevant to your business.

If you would like some advice or assistance with any of the above please complete our enquiry form and someone from our Team will contact you.
