Disputes

Straight up defence of your IP rights

Conflict is hard to avoid in commercial life. Things go wrong. But businesses shy away from disputes. The potential costs and the open-ended time commitments are legitimate concerns. We understand.

But avoiding conflict can undermine your rights. And make it harder to protect your IP in the future.

At Stobbs, we know enforcement is essential. It keeps your brand strong and protects its value. We build a commercially minded approach to disputes into a coherent strategy to protect your intangible assets.

More options than a Swiss-Army Knife

Whether your issue is about a trademark, misuse of your brand, advertising, licensing, franchising, sponsorship, sale, supply or distribution or anything else that has an IP angle, we’ve got it. Whether it is in the UK or Uzbekistan (and countries beginning with other letters too), we can deal with it.

From PR friendly soft comms through on-line technical requirements to hardcore litigation, we have a set of creative alternative dispute resolution solutions to handle any issue that arises.

Your ideas in safe hands

We are the UK’s largest provider of brand legal services. We take care of IP disputes at every level, and everywhere. We have an unrivalled network of experts around the world to help us.

But our huge experience in this area and our practical and strategic approach means that we will always be looking at the big picture and managing things in a way that suits you, your objectives and your budget.
