Experience

Rebecca has a strong interest in brands and the relationships they build with consumers, recognising the important role that effective brand protection plays in creating and maintaining valuable business assets.

Rebecca works closely with clients to understand their businesses, products and commercial ambitions, helping them develop, protect and grow their brands. Her approach is strategic and commercially focused, taking into account how a brand fits within the wider business, the key drivers for growth and where the brand needs to be positioned in the future.

Rebecca advises across the full spectrum of trade mark matters, including trade mark registration and clearance searches, enforcement advice, trade mark and design portfolio management and strategy, and trade mark and domain name watching services. She also advises on licence agreements, assignments and global assignment recordal programmes, domain name actions before Nominet and ICANN, Company Names Tribunal actions, and opposition, invalidity and revocation proceedings relating to trade marks and designs.

Rebecca’s experience spans a wide range of sectors, including pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, retail, financial services and FinTech, animal and pet nutrition, food and drink, and automotive. She works with businesses of all sizes, advising clients on both day-to-day brand protection and longer-term portfolio strategy.

Rebecca has a particular interest in fashion and retail branding and established the LinkedIn groups Fashion+IP and Retail+IP, to which she continues to contribute.
