Trademarks
IP Firm of the Year 2010 -
TOMKINS has long experience in the protections of Trademarks for goods and services throughout the world, including the filing of domestic and foreign applications for registration. We advise on infringement and validity of Trademarks, passing off actions, unfair competition, licensing and transfer of ownership of Trademarks.
We are qualified and experienced in the filing and prosecution of European Community Trademark Applications at the Community Trademark Office (OHIM) in Alicante, Spain. We provide a fast, efficient Trademark searching service and offer advice as to the registrability of marks.
Our searches for Irish Trademarks are carried out directly in the computer records of the Irish Patent Office for accuracy. Our on-line facilities enable us to carry out searches in many European Countries, the USA and internationally. We also carry out searches at the Irish Companies Office and in the Domain Registry. Our Trademarks portfolio includes marks which have been extant for over 100 years so our computerised renewal system has to cope with records across three centuries!
