Trade Marks and Branding Dealing & Protection

Branding helps customers recognise a business, distinguish its goods or services, and associate them with a particular reputation. These documents help businesses protect, control, license, transfer and manage brand assets, including trade marks, domain-name-related branding and wider get-up.

This collection covers both registered and unregistered trade mark issues, from everyday brand control through to infringement, passing off and negotiated co-existence.

Licensing, assigning and controlling brand use

Use the trade mark licence where one party owns a mark and another is permitted to use it on agreed terms. Use the trade mark assignment where ownership of one or more registered or unregistered trade marks is being transferred.

The White Label Product Agreement supports own-brand supply arrangements, where a manufacturer produces goods that are sold under the reseller’s branding.

Trade mark enforcement, passing off and brand disputes

Where branding is being misused, or where another business has adopted a confusingly similar name, mark, get-up or presentation, the enforcement documents provide practical starting points.

The collection includes guidance notes and cease and desist letters for registered trade mark infringement, unregistered trade mark issues and passing off. These documents help users understand the legal route before taking action, including the risks around unjustified threats where relevant.

Co-existence and internal trade mark policy

Not every branding conflict needs to escalate into litigation. A Trade Mark Co-Existence Agreement can help businesses with similar marks agree clear boundaries for future use.

The Trade Mark Policy helps businesses manage how employees, contractors and others use trade marks, including correct use of trade mark notices, third-party marks and internal infringement reporting.
