Competitors with same name

Two software companies had co-existed for over ten years in the UK. After some years of legal wrangling, our clients competitor was about to obtain registered UK trademark rights in the name.

We successfully stopped the competitor and brokered a deal under which our client was paid a substantial six-figure sum and took the opportunity to distinguish his products from the competitor by adopting a much more attractive modern name and image.

We settled and negotiated the necessary legal agreements to implement the arrangements including holding the domain names in escrow for a period of time before relinquishing them to the other company.
