Our experience
Our Food & Drink group boasts a blend of experienced patent, design and trade mark attorneys, who have the skills to understand the unique and fascinating demands of the global food and drink industry.
Our expertise
Our trade mark expertise in food and drink is extensive. We are privileged to represent many well-known brands within this industry. We pride ourselves on providing strategic advice on the adoption, enforcement and maintenance of trade marks that are crucial in ensuring competitive advantage in the food and drink industry. As well as this, our trade mark team has advised on the registration and enforcement of non-traditional trade marks, such as shapes and colours, in this sector. Such experience provides us with a unique insight into the challenges and benefits of obtaining, managing and policing trade mark rights in a fast-paced and competitive environment.
Our team of patent attorneys has a wealth of experience across the food and drink sector, from protecting new compositions, ingredients and recipes, to methods of manufacture and innovative packaging solutions. We aim to optimise your patent strategy for selling products directly to market, licensing to commercial partners companies, and/or obtaining tax relief through the Patent Box scheme. Our specialist team of chemists has experience in a wide range of food and drink technologies including sweeteners, chocolate, cheese, chewing gum, food additives, and meat processing. Our packaging experts have experience in all areas of packaging technology including wrapping, cartons, and protective sealing.
Our team of patent attorneys can also advise on trade secret protection. For instance, our team can help identify when trade secret protection may be preferable over another IP right, and also help put in place the necessary procedures to minimise risk of trade secret loss.
On the design side, our expert design team can provide advice on protecting the all-important look of your products. Whether this be the external packaging or the shape of the product itself.
