Powell Gilbert secures ranking in World Trademark Review 2016:

Uniquely specialised IP litigation shop Powell Gilbert is a go-to destination for companies needing penetrating strategic guidance and decisive representation in must-win disputes. Patent litigation is the area in which it is best known – its technically astute lawyers consistently push at the boundaries of patent law. 

The brands practice is punching above its weight, however, with a similar flair for breaking new ground: main man Simon Ayrton is currently representing Procter & Gamble International Operations in a major action against a dealer in parallel traded and decoded fine fragrance products, which raises important questions concerning the extent to which third-party interference with the packaging of goods constitutes trademark infringement. 

“Ayrton is a true expert in almost all aspects of intellectual property. On top of that, he is very service oriented and practically minded.”
