‘PSM places great values in its IP, which has helped us to sustain a reputation for innovative products, so when we noticed a business importing unauthorized copies of our patented fasteners we felt obliged to take appropriate action. That said, like most businesses, we must weigh the economic and other benefits of our IP against the costs and timescales of acquiring, maintaining and enforcing it. We were therefore open to Matthew's suggestion that, in the particular situation, there was the possibility of resolving the dispute satisfactorily without necessarily initiating costly and protracted court proceedings. Matthew commenced a comprehensive written correspondence with the infringer, which persuaded the infringer to settle the dispute within just a couple of months. The settlement met our primary objectives, in that the infringer agreed to cease infringing, deliver substandard infringements to us, and contribute towards our costs and damages. ’
Tog Isaacs, President of PSM International - Global Sales and Operations
‘When registering a European trademark this year, we dealt with Allen IP and were very pleased with their service. They answered questions promptly and a depth of knowledge about the trademark process was evident. The entire process went very smoothly and were were always kept up to date with the current status. The charge was an order of magnitude lower than prices quoted by other firms. We intend to use Allen IP for all our future European trademark requirements.’
Mr Chris Wilson, Founding Director of Grinding Gear Games, New Zealand
‘Matthew has represented me for more than 5 years, during which he has provided a great deal of enthusiasm and support for my technology, and contributed numerous ideas to me, of both a technical and commercial nature. Therefore, when we recently secured a multinational licence with a leading UK valve manufacturer, he was one of the first people I called to share the news. ’
Sean Linden, of The Linden Shield Limited
‘We have found Allen IP Ltd to be a most professional and knowledgeable company during our dealings with them in connection with our EU Community trademark. All our questions were answered quickly and fully and their assistance was greatly appreciated. They provided a very good service at a reasonable cost. We would be happy to use them again and to recommend them to others. ’
