Worldwide recognition for Blake Morgan IP team

The Blake Morgan IP group are delighted to have been ranked in the 2017 World Trade Mark Review 1000.

The seventh edition of World Trademark Review 1000 – The World’s Leading Trademark Professionals focuses exclusively on trademark practices and practitioners, and is the only definitive guide exclusively dedicated to identifying the world’s leading trademark professionals. The guide serves as a one-stop source of reference for anyone seeking superlative trademark professionals.

In particular, Partner and head of IP Jill Bainbridge, and Associate and Chartered Trade Mark Attorney Ben Evans have been recognised for their expertise in the field, alongside recognition for the whole team across contentious and non-contentious.

"Blake Morgan’s in-depth understanding of the charities sector sets it apart on the highly competitive UK trademark scene. It strikes a fine balance, representing non-profits in a commercially astute way, but without being heavy handed – a feat that it repeats for its many public sector and higher-education patrons. It acts for a slew of heavyweight corporates too, including the likes of leading online sports retailer Wiggle and cosmetics e-business feelunique. Operating flawlessly across the contentious/non-contentious divide, it has cultivated a well-balanced practice, making it a cost-effective out-of-London destination for one-stop shopping. Jill Bainbridge garners rave reviews for her astute management of the IP group and trademark prosecution unit. Barristers comment that “she has a great feel for litigation” and “knows how it all works”, and praise her “sensible” advice and sweeping IP know-how. “She also has good juniors backing her up” – one of whom is rising star Ben Evans. The dual-qualified solicitor and trademark attorney is “practical, business minded and timely, and represents good value for money”."
