Expert Legal Support, Globally

Since 2008, we have built up an extensive panel of solicitors and trademark attorneys worldwide. These trusted professionals help us provide expert support to clients in both local and international trademark matters. With our panel, we ensure that your intellectual property is handled with the highest level of legal expertise.

When Do We Use Our Panel of Solicitors and Trademark Attorneys?

We partner with our network of regulated solicitors and trademark attorneys when you require legal representation or specific services that go beyond our in-house support. Here’s when we typically turn to our expert panel:

  • Legal Representation – When you want to give more weight to a letter (eg. Cease & Desist ) or formal communication, we work with our solicitors to ensure the message is legally robust and impactful. Their expertise helps assert your position and can make a significant difference when dealing with legal disputes or infringement issues.
  • Professional Indemnity Insurance – In certain cases, clients require the protection of Professional Indemnity Insurance. Our panel includes regulated attorneys who can offer this protection when advising or representing you, ensuring peace of mind that your trademark matters are handled by professionals with full legal coverage.
  • Overseas Trademark Matters – When dealing with international trademark applications, offices such as the EU Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), often require that we work with a local representative. In such cases, our network of global expert’s step in to handle filings, renewals, and other essential communications on your behalf. This local representation ensures compliance with the regulations of the country in question.

Frequently asked questions

When does The Trademark Helpline involve solicitors or trademark attorneys?

We bring in our panel of regulated solicitors and trademark attorneys when a matter goes beyond our in-house support. Typical examples are giving more weight to a cease and desist letter or other formal communication, cases where a client needs the cover of professional indemnity insurance, and overseas matters where a trademark office requires a local representative.

Answered by Jonathan Paton, Founder & CEO
Who manages my case if a panel solicitor is involved?

Your account manager at The Trademark Helpline stays your central point of contact. We coordinate communication between you, the panel and any overseas trademark office, make sure your objectives are clearly understood, and hold everyone to our service standards. This keeps the process simpler, helps manage costs and means you are not dealing with several parties at once.

Answered by Jonathan Paton, Founder & CEO
Do I need a local representative to file a trademark abroad?

Often, yes. Overseas offices, including the EU Intellectual Property Office, frequently require applicants to work through a local representative. In those cases our network of overseas professionals handles filings, renewals and official correspondence, which keeps the matter compliant with local rules while we coordinate the work for you.
