The ‘absolutely first-rate’ group at Boult Wade Tennant LLP is well-regarded for its abilities handling the plethora of trade mark matters, including filing applications both domestically and internationally, handling opposition and advisory matters before the UKIPO and EUIPO, and handling disputes in English courts and tribunals as well as those overseas. The team’s growing client roster features well-known, sector-spanning names. Overseeing the cohort are Rachel Conroy who has experience in brand selection protection, enforcement and portfolio management, and ’best of the best’ Emma Pitcher who assists clients in the Asian and American markets, amongst others. Chinese trade mark cases are the area of specialism of Catherine Wolfe, while Connor Thorogood has expertise in dispute avoidance negotiations and disputes. UKIPO and settlement matters form a significant portion of Felicity Hide‘s practice. ’IP encyclopaedia’ Tony Pluckrose stepped into a consultancy role in 2024.
