Services relating to trademarks - for solicitors
Because we concentrate almost entirely on registering trademarks, several solicitors have either referred their trademark customers to us, or have used us to get trademarks registered or to provide technical trademarks legal opinions.

Battle For Trademarks - services for solicitors
Because trademarks belong to a small area of law, solicitors often require to consult trademark agents for certain trademarks services. Battle For Trademarks Ltd. understands the issues that can be involved in trademarks law. We have provided advice to solicitors on several trademarks cases.
... solicitors and registered trademarks
Solicitors can out-source certain trademark services from BATTLE®.
Many solicitors have busy law practices that focus on conveyancing, litigation and other legal business. So occasionally, there may be a need to consult on the specialised area of registered trademarks and trademark litigation in certain trademark cases.
Battle can assist solicitors and their customers with consultancy about registered trademarks
The trademark services for solicitors that BATTLE® can provide include the following: -
- registered trademark searches
- opinions on trademark cases
- opinions on trademark law
- registered trademark case precedents
- trademark consultancy
- trademark defence strategies
- trademark attack strategies
- opinions on trademark litigation
- opinions on trademark opposition
- negotiating trademark co-existence agreements.
Using trademark research, often, you get a view on how strong a trademark registration is, or on identifying certain key characteristics of a registered trademark, in accordance with the requirements of the Trade Marks Act, 1996 (or European trademark legislation) This can help in advising clients about the strength or weakness of their trademark case. Research on trademarks also can sometimes indicate how a customer's trademark case can be strengthened.

There can be pitfalls with names or trademarks
A new name, SOLAS, was proposed to replace the name for Ireland's state training authority, FÁS. However, a similar name is being used by others, and in particular by the Solas Centre in Waterford, by an Irish IT consultancy firm, as well as by a bar and restaurant in Dublin city.
In selecting names for organisations, one objective should be to avoid a likelihood of confusion. For a further example of similar names, visit our page why trademarks matter.
Trademark agreements, trademark disputes, building reputation in trademarks
Trademarks can be used by organisations to build identity, convey a reputation, and to develop goodwill over time.
A consumer buys your reputation, honesty and integrity in a trademark.
Organisations seek to develop a trademark into something a consumer can trust.
Owning a registered trademark can be core to safeguarding the name. Registered trademarks can be important for position and power in a sector or in relation to certain goods or services. Our customers use registered trademarks to obtain greater security, safety and strength for their logos, names and brands. We assist customers with some of the pitfalls should they arise. See our page trademark agreements.
