FAQs
What does trade mark law cover in the UK?
Trade mark law in the UK protects names, logos, slogans, shapes, colours, and even sounds that distinguish your business’s products or services from others. A registered trade mark grants you exclusive rights to use that mark for specific goods or services and helps prevent others from copying or imitating your brand. If you encounter a competitor benefitting from the goodwill of your brand or using your brand identifiers to harm or damage your organisational reputation, we are experts in resolution whether through mediation, negotiation or litigation where necessary.
If you’re unsure whether your brand elements are eligible for protection, speak to Panoramix IP’s trade mark experts today.
How enforceable is a trade mark in the UK?

How can I monitor and prevent trade mark infringement?
We offer comprehensive trade mark watching services that monitor official registers and online platforms for unauthorised use of your mark. Our advanced monitoring technology identifies potential conflicts early, allowing you to respond before threats escalate.
Prevention begins with robust registration and clear use of your trade mark in commerce, supported by regular portfolio audits and proactive enforcement when necessary. Our team provides strategic guidance on best practices to maintain strong protection.
What is the process for responding to trade mark oppositions or challenges?
If a third party files an opposition or challenges your trade mark, we represent you throughout the proceedings. We assess the grounds of opposition, advise on the strength of your position and develop a strategy to defend your application or registration.
This may involve negotiating a settlement, filing evidence of use or distinctiveness or contesting the opposition in formal proceedings before the Intellectual Property Office. The process can take several months and involves submitting written evidence and legal arguments.
Our goal is to protect your interests and achieve the best possible outcome, whether through resolution or successfully overcoming the opposition. Contact us today for expert representation.
How do you advise clients on trade mark renewals and ongoing portfolio management?
We provide proactive reminders and guidance on renewal deadlines, ensuring your trade marks remain in force. In the UK, trade marks must be renewed every ten years, and we manage this process on your behalf to avoid lapses in protection.
Beyond renewals, we conduct regular portfolio audits to identify unused marks, assess coverage gaps and recommend strategic filings aligned with your evolving business objectives. This ongoing management ensures your portfolio remains cost-effective and commercially relevant.
Speak with our team today to discuss portfolio management services tailored to your needs.
Can trade mark rights be licensed or sold?
Yes, trade mark rights can be licensed to third parties, allowing them to use your mark under agreed terms while you retain ownership. Licensing can generate revenue and expand your brand presence without additional investment.
Trade marks can also be sold or assigned to another party, transferring ownership permanently. We draft and negotiate licensing agreements, assignments and quality control provisions to protect your interests and ensure compliance with legal requirements.
Contact Panoramix IP today for advice on licensing and commercialisation opportunities.
What are co-existence agreements and how can they help protect my brand?
Co-existence agreements allow two parties to use similar trade marks in the same market without conflict, typically by defining geographic boundaries, product categories or channels of trade. These agreements prevent costly disputes and provide commercial certainty.
We negotiate co-existence agreements that protect your brand while allowing lawful use by others in non-competing contexts. This pragmatic approach preserves goodwill, reduces litigation risk and supports business relationships.
Speak with our trade mark attorneys and solicitors today to explore co-existence options for your brand.
