Our aim is to cut through the jargon and make your life easy.

HallMark IP is client focused.  We have invested heavily in technology and operate cutting edge systems and procedures to deliver efficient services. 

 

Our attorneys are forward looking and come from a wide variety of professional backgrounds and experience including private practice solicitors, trade mark attorneys and in-house legal departments.  We have advisors with first hand International experience, active members of our professional institute's Council and the Joint Examination Board for Trade Mark and Patent Attorneys.  We are also privileged to draw on the experience gained from our distinguished history.

 

HallMark IP was founded as a members' organisation in 1886 under the name of Trade Mark Owners Association ("TMOA").  Its objective was to provide high quality trade mark registration services to its members - companies like Bass, Blue Circle, Heinz and Nestle - typically multinational companies with large international brand portfolios.

 

As part of the transition from a members' organisation to an independent commercial business our name was changed from TMOA to HallMark IP in April 2003.  We are proud that many of TMOA's original member clients continue to use HallMark IP for brand protection services.

 

HallMark is proud of its staff loyalty where the average length of service is 17 years with technical staff running at 18 years!  This continuity provides an in-depth knowledge of clients' business, together with a wealth of expertise and experience in Intellectual Property throughout the world.
