What Can Tomkins Do For You?

Unless you have patent protection, you may find it impossible to prevent a rival company from launching a competing product.

By being able to file patent applications in any and every jurisdiction you require, Tomkins secures patent protection for you across the globe.

Your brands may well be your most valuable assets, yet too often they are left unprotected. Trade Marks - names, logos, symbols, slogans, colours, shapes or even smells - allow you to distinguish your business from your competition. At Tomkins, we specialise in protecting your trade mark rights and protecting your point of difference in the market.

Attorneys on our design right team possess a wealth of experience in the filing and prosecution of design applications.  Our Attorneys are qualified to represent clients nationally at the Irish, and UK Intellectual Property Offices and throughout Europe via the Registered Community Design regime administered by the OHIM.

Tomkins offers a wealth of IP related services for our Associates, including a dedicated team for providing validation and renewal services, and for assisting in the recordal of any changes in IP rights.

When your innovative and lucrative products and services are backed by an astute IP strategy, you can achieve your goal of creating lasting competitive advantage.

By effectively engaging with partners, investors and customers as you grow your business, you can protect and add value to your investment.

Based on our own experience and the experience of our clients, we know that launching your protected innovative product or service can be a minefield on your route to market.

You need to ask yourself whether any existing IP rights that conflict with your patents, trademarks or designs, could hinder your ability to commercialise your product? This is known as Freedom to Operate.

The successful completion of the Intellectual Property registration process marks your opportunity to start maximising revenue for your business, and allows you to explore strategic options for growth and expansion you never considered before.

By licensing your patents, trademarks or designs in adjacent business markets that you are not servicing directly, you enhance your scope for additional revenue and profit.

A corporate tax rate as low as 2.5% when IP activities are located in Ireland, makes this a uniquely attractive proposition for IP-based businesses that enjoy significant IP royalty flows.

The Irish Government focuses on three key economic drivers: High Value Manufacturing, Global Services and RD&I (Research Development and Innovation).
