What our customers think
We were unaware of monitoring services before being contacted, but the monitoring service has proven to be incredibly valuable. Within the first month, it identified a trademark infringement which led to prompt action and the curtailing of the infringement. The information provided by the service has been extremely useful and we believe it offers excellent value for money. We would definitely recommend this service to other trademark owners.
“We discovered we had a branding IP infringement, committed by our former supplier in the first report that was issued by the Trademark Helpline Monitoring service. The Trademark Helpline were excellent and advised us on the course of action to take, by laying a complaint with Nominet, who administers all the .co.uk domain names. They ruled in our favour, that it was an abusive registration, and as a result, the domain was transferred to us. Curranz would definitely recommend The Trademark Helpline Monitoring service, particularly if you operate in a highly competitive and crowded market place.”
“The Trademark Helpline provided us with a thorough and professional service when we registered our trademark. Shortly afterwards they notified us of a potential infringement on our mark via the monitoring service. The speed and professionalism with which Ric successfully resolved the issue on our behalf was impressive and this work was dealt with promptly at a very affordable cost!
“I have found the Trademark Helpline monitoring service extremely useful. I was alerted whilst on holiday of a major infringement of our IP rights and glad I was. I was 1000s of miles away but I was advised on what to do, how to approach the matter and was assured of my evidently strong legal position.”
