Patents Law Practice:

Managing a large portfolio of trade marks internationally – as Corrs does for Foster’s, for example – requires the right strategic approach to maximise protection whilst containing costs.

Luxury brands, like Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Gucci, Cartier and Hugo Boss rely upon us to cost-effectively contain the ever-present problem of counterfeits, even when that involves extended protection for non-traditional marks such as colours or shapes.

Others, like BlackBerry makers RIM and fashion name Lacoste entrust to us complex enforcement actions against competitors.

Right across the spectrum – whether it is routine enforcement of trade marks against rogue retailers or taking a complex question of trade mark law right up to the High Court of Australia as Corrs did for Gallo, Corrs’ trade mark practice focuses on getting the right results for our clients.
