Brand utilisation, packaging and labelling

Packaging and labelling are key means of identifying and selecting products and are essential to maximising the potential customer base of a brand. However, regulations are constantly changing and failure to comply with the legal requirements can have adverse commercial consequences.

Haseltine Lake advise on:

  • Packaging and labelling - guidance through the array of legislation in this area from health and safety legislation to advertising and marketing regulations. We advise owners of well-known brands and products as to what should be put on packaging and labels.
  • Product differentiation - differentiating your product from your competitors' products. Advice in relation to third party rights whether trade marks, registered designs or passing off rights.
  • Brand structures - when and how to align primary and secondary brands in relation to new product lines and ranges.
  • Registered designs - their interplay with trade marks, and what type of protection is appropriate to safeguard the identity of a product.
  • Correct trade mark usage - maintaining brand distinctiveness and avoiding the dangers of a trade mark becoming generic.
