The strength of Spoor & Fisher’s trade mark practice has been highlighted once more by the World Trademark Review (WTR) – a highly regarded international publication specialising in trade mark law and practitioners.

WTR 1000 focuses exclusively on trade mark practices and practitioners in 72 jurisdictions around the world – and in the publication’s 2018 rankings preview, Spoor & Fisher is rated as one of South Africa’s leading firms in the trade mark field for 2018. The 2018 preview also lists individual practitioners who have earned particular mention due to their high professional profiles in specialist areas. Charles Webster, Louise Myburgh, Carl van Rooyen, Eben van Wyk and Mohamed Khader are listed in the field of enforcement and litigation and Mohamed is also mentioned for his anti-counterfeiting work. Stephen Goldberg, Jean McIvor, Louise Myburgh, Kay Rickelman and Eben van Wyk are named for their abilities in terms of prosecution and strategy.

A more detailed analysis of the listings will become available once the 2018 WTR 1000 is published in full.
