01 — Overview
Protect the name before the market learns it
Most IP problems are cheaper to prevent than to fix. We clear and register marks before launch, put licences in place that reflect how the work is actually used, and act quickly when a competitor copies what you built.
Elena Morris leads the practice from London, with Samuel Mensah handling filings and portfolio work. We file in the UK, the EU and the United States, and we bring infringement claims in court or through settlement, whichever ends the problem sooner.

05 — FAQ
Intellectual Property questions, answered plainly
When should I register a trademark?
Before you launch, and ideally before you print packaging or buy domains. A clearance search first tells you whether the name is safe to use at all.
Is a UK trademark enough if I sell in the US?
Someone is copying my brand. What should I do first?
Do I own the copyright in work I paid for?
