About this company
Stobbs is a niche intellectual property practice that recognises that to give the best advice on brands, you need to take a more strategic and holistic approach than pure trade mark expertise. To that end, we launched the concept of Intangible Asset Management. We have a breadth of capability that goes far beyond the scope of any other IP firm and encompasses trade marks, designs and copyright, litigation, disputes, commercial contracts, brand intelligence, brand extension (licensing), systems, online brand enforcement, anti-counterfeiting and brand restructuring. Formed in 2013 with 18 people, today we have over 200 professionals based in Cambridge, London, Dublin, Eindhoven and Munich.
After this apprenticeship
