Passing Off

Non-registered business names and logos are valuable and can be protected.

What happens if an individual or company offers goods or services in a manner that deceives customers or other third parties into believing that they are purchasing your goods or services?  Or worse still, that your company must be part of, or linked with, theirs, and your business or the reputation of your product suffers loss as a result?

The internet makes this an increasingly common occurrence. We can advise and act on your behalf if this situation arises to ensure that your rights are upheld.
