Passing Off Claims

Passing off occurs when another party misleads the public into believing their goods or services are connected to your brand or image. This can damage your reputation and cost you market share.

To successfully bring a passing off claim, there are three key requirements that must be established:

1. The business making the claim must have a reputation or ‘goodwill’ that is directly associated with the products or services.
2. There must have been a misrepresentation by the defendant that has led to the confusion.
3. The misrepresentation must have caused some damage to the goodwill or reputation relating to their products or services.

At Panoramix IP, we specialise in identifying and addressing passing off, collecting evidence to prove misrepresentation and likely damage. We assist with cease and desist letters, negotiations or formal legal action, depending on the severity of the case.

Swift intervention often resolves disputes before they escalate, protecting your reputation and market standing with customers. Our global perspective and local know-how help you tackle passing off wherever it arises.

Trust Panoramix IP to defend your brand identity and maintain public confidence. Contact us today to find out how we can help.

Truly exceptional work and service

Panoramix are my company’s go-to partner for Intellectual Property and contractual matters. We’ve worked with them on many projects over the years and the level of input, service and speed has always been outstanding. They are true partners to our business and would highly recommend them.

First rate IP lawyers

I always recommend my clients use Panoramix when they are looking into any IP or trademarking matters for their companies, regardless of whether it’s for the UK, EU or another territory. The team are absolutely first rate, extremely knowledgeable and very professional in all their dealings.

Many business owners are not certain of what they can and can’t register as IP/TM, so Kevin and his team guide them through what can be a minefield, brilliantly.
I would absolutely suggest an initial call with the team for anyone serious about protecting their company’s IP assets

I would like to recommend this firm

I would like to recommend this firm. I originally spoke with Kevin Hanson and he gave me partial advice that was very helpful. I then came back some time after to seek their legal services in relation to the initial advice. Kate McCormick is who dealt with my case on the second contact and she did a very good job. I am pleased with the outcome we had.

Knowledgeable advice and promptly done, helping me also with a short deadline. I recommend them.
