Beck Greener

Firm overview:

IP specialist firm Beck Greener files trademarks worldwide and enforces rights before the UK and EU Intellectual Property Offices (IPOs). The team of attorneys manages and maintains portfolios for a client base of publishers, cosmetic brands and well-known names in entertainment. When a matter requires litigation, some of Beck Greener’s trademark attorneys have enhanced rights before the English courts and can represent clients on trademark infringement cases when necessary. 

Before the UKIPO, Beck Greener has acted for Best Coast Beverage, Helan Cosmesi and, notably, for the British Phonographic Industry—the association behind the BRIT Awards and the Mercury Prize. 

Across IP as a whole, the team boasts an 80% success rate for oppositions and appeal hearings. As well as enforcing trademark rights, Beck Greener attorneys resolve domain name issues caused by cybersquatters and domain hijackers.

Team overview:

Beck Greener expanded its practice following Brexit, opening offices in Alicante, the home of the EUIPO, to secure its position in EU trademarks. Currently the 150-year-old firm has 11 partners across IP. 

Trademark attorney Ian Bartlett “stands out” says a peer—“he’s really good.” Bartlett focuses on contentious matters, bringing his previous experience in the High Court as a barrister and three decades of trademark prosecution knowledge, and handles UK and EUIPO matters for a range of clients.
