International trademarks management for an global financial services provider

Pepper Group Pty Ltd is an international financial services provider headquartered in Sydney, with offices in New Zealand, Ireland, Spain, the UK, and South Korea. The company has a range of international trademarks that required management and protection against infringement. Since 2010, we have assisted Pepper Group with its Intellectual Property matters.

Our work included establishing Pepper Group’s international trademark portfolio of over 70 trademarks across more than15 countries, including a large presence in China. We were also responsible for managing that portfolio and the responsible trademark agents in multiple jurisdictions and engaging in trademark prosecution work in Australia and overseas. With our experience in trademark management and associated legal matters, were also responsible for issuing letters of demand and engaging in litigation and other IP enforcement action in multiple jurisdictions. Through our work, we assisted in commercial transactions involving the trademarks including international license agreements and assignments. Piper Alderman was effective in fulfilling its mandate because of its broad experience in IP and trademark management.
