Mathys & Squire LLP‘s practice is helmed from London by Helen Cawley who has expertise handling the whole life cycle of trade marks, from clearance searches through to enforcement, for clients from large multinational companies and charities, to SMEs. Contentious matters and opposition proceedings form a large portion of the team’s workload, alongside trade mark filing and portfolio management work. Birmingham’s Rebecca Tew harnesses over 25 years’ experience in contentious and non-contentious IP. London’s Harry Rowe is also a name to note, as is Margaret Arnott. At the same office, Juliet Redhouse departed in November 2024.

Work highlights
Acting on behalf of Design Blue Limited, we applied for a colour mark in the UK; the application was ultimately accepted, and the colour mark was successfully registered.
Acting for Textron Innovations Inc., we achieved a positive outcome for our client since it prevented the registration of a similar mark to our client’s mark in relation to similar or identical goods.
Acting for STAEDTLER SE in opposing a UK trade mark application filed by Zheng Jin Fang for the identical mark "STAEDTLER" on goods similar to our client's.
