Brand Protection

Prevention is better than cure. Let us keep an eye on your brand, so you can stay focused on your business

Our brand protection and monitoring service, TidmanTrack® will prevent brand infringement by notifying you of any conflicting trade marks or names before registration takes place by using specialist software to monitor and protect your brand. This proactive service means that you have total knowledge of trade marks that are in the process of being registered and early intervention is likely to be cost-effective and prevent commercial damage to your business.

TidmanTrack® can also identify and remove product listings, website pages or social media posts as part of your brand protection strategy, so you can stay focused on your business.

Trade Mark Watching

Trade mark owners are responsible for enforcing their own trade mark rights. That means it is up to you to police your trade mark and to take action when someone is infringing on your brand.

TidmanTrack® helps with brand protection and monitoring identical or confusingly similar trade mark applications for your brand in the United Kingdom, European Union and national offices of individual countries worldwide. This is particularly important in countries where applications are not examined for conflicts with earlier marks and unknowingly proceed to registration. Our expert brand protection solicitors will notify you of any published trade marks which may damage your brand should they be allowed to proceed to registration. You will also be advised of the appropriate course of action to protect your brand.

Our TidmanTrack® service can also watch domain names and company names, whereby the trade mark owner will be alerted to any applications for the registration of a domain name or company name respectively which conflicts with the watched trade mark(s).  Our domain name watch covers most generic top level and country-code second level domain names, whilst the company name watch monitors new incorporations and changes to company names on the UK Companies House register.  In the event that a watch highlights a conflicting domain name or company name, we are able to advise on the options available to you for taking action against the conflicting name.
