We established the firm to run large portfolios, with complexity and a range of issues, in multiple countries, across the world.
Our Global Network
Our global network represents one of our strategic advantages.
Our curated Stobbs Global Network of over 150 firms worldwide gives us access to the best attorneys, always at the top of their game, working in partnership with us. We are our clients’ strategic partners – ensuring a strategic approach, challenging local teams and actively managing costs.
We typically have 2-3 preferred firms in each market
We’d select one for running a portfolio, others may have specific expertise (e.g. in litigation/disputes) and we are always in a position to choose a specialist alternative
We select the best available – we choose partners based on expertise and cost-benefit. As such, we don’t rely on reciprocity – we are not reliant on business going the other way
We are happy to work with client-chosen firms
Whichever firms we choose, we are your Strategic Partner. We take the best available advice, we challenge it rather than just passing on, so that we ensure complete alignment with brand strategy
Power of the Network
Because of our focus, our approach and our scale, we deliver significant operational efficiencies.
All of our team have the experience of handling large client portfolios with global footprints.
We recognized that the technology didn’t exist to run our work efficiently – so we codified our process and built our own technology, and make this available to all of our clients.
What if you could combine: the rigour and efficiency, support and advice you would expect from an established TM firm with the cost of a low-cost aggregator?
ATLAS® addresses this unmet need by streamlining four key disciplines.
Cost-effective procurement and management of TM rights in harder-to-reach territories like Sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean and Oceania.
We can cut out unnecessary spend through our ability to file directly.
We minimise the cost of TM and design renewal and maintenance by:
Providing a single point of contact at Stobbs – strategic advice and minimising the admin burden.
Leveraging our direct relationship with 20 IP offices and the Stobbs Global Network of firms worldwide.
