Mr Ali originally licensed the trade marks to Progressive Care Limited. Prior to registration, Mr Ali and Progressive Care Limited had used the PATHWAYS marks and FOUNDATIONS mark as unregistered trade marks in the healthcare sector since before 2004.
The unregistered mark PROGRESSIVE CARE has been used by Mr Ali and the company since 2001, the year in which the company formally adopted the name PROGRESSIVE CARE LIMITED.
Progressive Care Limited uses and relies on the trade marks for marketing and promotional purposes, both internally and externally, and has established a strong brand with substantial goodwill within the support sector. From time to time, Progressive Care Limited and Mr Ali have had to enforce their rights in the trade marks and have been successful in litigated matters.
If you are concerned about another business using the PATHWAYS or FOUNDATIONS marks within the care sector, please get in touch.
