Wallace's IP and trademark professionals who assist clients with all aspects of brand protection and exploitation.
We offer assistance with product/brand licensing arrangements, all aspects of registered intellectual property (trademarks, patents and registered designs), copyright issues, privacy and information practice, trade secrecy and confidentiality and data protection. We ensure clients' trademarks are registered and assist in the determination and management of trademark portfolios. Clients in the creative industries come to us for assistance with protecting their brands, designs, patents, domain names and databases, and seek advice on their artistic works and performing rights. Our technology clients - whether it is banking technology, sound equipment, image technology, data management or engineering technology for the defence industry - also rely on us to provide sound advice that is rooted in an intimate knowledge of the technology sector.
We have provided advice in a vast range of areas, everything from music, art and clothes, to credit cards, book shops and the use of the term "Grand Prix". We assist companies with the exploitation and expansion of their brands via licensing arrangements and franchise arrangements and advise on the structuring, application, and prosecution of trademarks locally and internationally. We have successfully issued a number of copyright infringement claims in the UK as well as advising generally on counterfeiting and brand protection, and we provide strategic advice in relation to investment activities and advertising and marketing.
Our lawyers provide straight-talking, to-the-point advice in practical terms which our clients can understand. Our technical knowledge is combined with a commercial approach to business, allowing us to work with individuals, entrepreneurs and businesses to assess their needs, ensure watertight protection and maximise their ability to flourish commercially and financially. At Wallace we work with clients to maximise the value of their intellectual property assets and work with both established companies and start ups to protect, position and build value via IP strategies.
Wallace has cemented its position as a top quality adviser on IP and brand protection and is recognised for its commercial and IP expertise in the media and entertainment category of the annual law firm guide, The UK Legal 500.
