Contacting us
If you have any marks that are of potential concern, or if you have any queries, then please email us at ip@clydeco.com with:
- the trade mark(s) of interest; and
- the relevant page number(s) of the Gazette.
We can then check the Gazette and provide you with full details of the application so that you or your client can decide whether to file an opposition before the deadline and put in place a legalised Power of Attorney if necessary.
In order to have any chance of meeting the non-extendable opposition deadline where a legalised Power of Attorney is required, we will need your urgent feedback on marks of potential concern.
