Abel + Imray

Firm overview:

Established as a patent firm in 1871, Abel + Imray has been building its own brand as an IP specialist ever since. The firm has offices in the UK, the Netherlands and Spain, as well as connections with attorneys around the world to obtain trademark protection for clients in any territories. Abel + Imray is a go-to firm for non-contentious trademark work and noted as a “true competitor” by a peer, working hard to fully understand its clients’ objectives before offering strategic advice.

The team has an excellent track record on handling trademark oppositions and developing trademark enforcement strategies. Abel + Imray also partners with trading standards organisations, customs officials and law enforcement to halt counterfeiting should it arise.
