The Story

In my new digital marketing business, I quickly landed larger clients with decent budgets. One of these clients was about to launch a new website with a new brand when they received a letter from a company in Dorset claiming trademark infringement.

Initially, I had no idea what a trademark was and thought it was only for big companies. However, after research, I realised this company was trying to prevent a competitor from going live. The trademarks, in my opinion, weren’t similar enough to warrant a rebrand. Yet, none of the solicitors I consulted knew how to handle UK trademark disputes.
