Protection & Enforcement

Someone is copying us. What can we actually do?

The first decision in a copying situation is commercial, not legal: is this worth fighting, and what does winning look like. We assess the strength of your position, lay out the routes — a letter, a platform takedown, an opposition, litigation — with the cost and time attached to each, and draft the first move once you have chosen.

What you walk away with

  • Infringement assessment note — how strong your position really is
  • Options memo — each route with its cost, timeline and likely outcome
  • Drafted first response — ready to send once you decide

Where this sits

  • Stage 04 · Keep — Owning it is only half the job.
  • Entry product — Infringement Response Plan
  • One firm throughout — you are not handed to another firm at the next rung.
Fee — scoped to your business, quoted in writing before you commit. No rate card, no hourly meter: the number you agree to is the number you pay.
