Bristows LLP’s team consists of UK and EU trade mark attorneys, litigation solicitors, and other overseas-qualified lawyers who all assist with the management of global IP portfolios and advise on the entire spectrum of trade mark mandates, including brand creation, clearance searches, licensing, and disputes before trade mark registries and the courts. The team has witnessed growth in instructions from clients in the hospitality, technology, and telecoms sectors, and continues to frequently represent clients before the UKIPO and EPO. Ian Gruselle sits at the helm of the trade marks department and is supported by Nellie Jackson, who has expertise in brand protection, exploitation matters, portfolio management, and IP-related disputes.
