Experts in patent law and dispute resolution are to give online seminars to members of the British Furniture Manufacturers (BFM).

Internationally renowned European and UK patent, trade and design law, Reddie & Grose LLP will speak at a webinar in September, followed by a second event with representatives from the Furniture and Home Improvement Ombudsman service.

BFM members are invited to access both events online.

Reddie & Grose LLP is an internationally renowned firm of European and United Kingdom patent, trade mark and design attorneys with a team of around 80 professionals based in the UK.

The firm’s trade mark team provides specialist advice on branding and trade mark work and the company also handles the full range of Intellectual Property rights for a global client base ranging from SMEs to large corporations.

The Furniture and Home Improvement Ombudsman is an independent, not-for-profit, government-approved organisation set up to help resolve disputes and raise standards.

The Ombudsman webinars draw on 25 years of knowledge and review real life examples and case studies, to give clear guidance and confidence to improve customer service processes.

BFM MD Nick Garratt said: “These webinars are a great opportunity for BFM members to expand their knowledge and get insight into the legal processes around patents and design, as well as gain a deeper understanding of the Ombudsman role.

“It’s great news for members and I encourage furniture manufacturers to sign up for these events.”

The first webinar is with Reddie & Grose LLP on September 16, with the second event with the Furniture and Home Improvement Ombudsman taking place on September 30.
