Tidman Legal Joins Midlothian & East Lothian Chamber of Commerce
Tidman Legal, one of Edinburgh’s leading intellectual property firms, is proud to announce that it has joined Midlothian and East Lothian Chamber of Commerce.
Built on founder Oliver Tidman’s extensive intellectual property expertise, since 2016 Tidman Legal has established itself as a market-leading specialist law firm among both major corporates and SMEs, based in both the UK and overseas.
Tidman Legal represents businesses across many sectors, including creative, food and drink, sport and technology to name a few.
Intellectual property consists of trade marks such as names, logos, strap lines and other visual ways of representing a brand. They are a key part of a company’s identity, a badge of origin for their relationship with customers and a key asset on their balance sheets.
Failure to register trade marks correctly in different countries may mean they can be used by competitor businesses.
Oliver explained that “Tidman Legal is centred both on our expertise – we are one of only a tiny handful of specialist intellectual property lawyers – and our values. These values have been shaped by both our beliefs that hardworking company owners deserve a return on investment for their risk-taking and that could be endangered by competitors ‘owning’ your trade marks and picking up business that is rightfully yours.”
To provide this service, Tidman Legal operates across every time zone and will meet all reasonable deadlines to protect your brand and ensure that your trade marks are registered and protected.
In addition to our UK and international trade mark registration service, we ensure that our clients’ brands are protected by monitoring and reviewing efforts by other companies to acquire this part of your intellectual property portfolio. We also offer other business services to keep your business compliant with legislation.
Client comment:
J.B. Turner is a thriller writer who authored the Jon Reznick series of action books. They have sold several hundred thousand copies and regularly appear at the top 20 of Amazon’s action and adventure bestsellers. His next Reznick book, Hard Fall, is out on 8 February 2018 from publisher Thomas & Mercer.
J.B. Turner explains why he opted for Tidman Legal:
“Following the success of my Jon Reznick series of action thrillers, and with my forthcoming American Ghost thriller series to be published by Thomas & Mercer (Amazon Publishing) from June 2018, I wanted to ensure that the series names of Jon Reznick and American Ghost were protected now, and in the future, for my company’s exclusive commercial use.
“After a web search for a lawyer to assist me in the process of protecting my intellectual property, I was very impressed by Tidman Legal’s credentials and decided to engage their services to assist me in applying for a trade mark. The service and support provided by Oliver Tidman was first class. He’s very professional and responsive to my business needs.
“Tidman Legal also provided excellent advice and policies for my revamped website jbturnerauthor.com to ensure I complied with data protection, intellectual property and privacy legislation. Highly recommended.”
Oliver explained the firm’s reasons for joining Midlothian and East Lothian Chamber of Commerce: “as a specialist but growing legal practice with a strong presence in the Midlothian region, and with both a local and an international client base and credentials, joining this Chamber was a logical and necessary next step.
“In becoming a member of Midlothian and East Lothian Chamber, Tidman Legal can access the organisation’s great networking events and be part of its high-profiled lobbying campaigns.”
Edinburgh-based Tidman Legal is a firm of specialist intellectual property and business lawyers for all your business needs.
