Bill Ward - Ward Trade Marks

We Are Ward

Ward is a company focused completely on trade marks. While other practices dilute their offering by advising generally across several areas of law, we are trade mark specialists, allowing us to offer you unrivalled expertise.

Headed by Rachael and Bill Ward, Ward Trade Marks was set up in 2014 as a specialist trade mark attorney company. Working both nationally and internationally to help clients select, register and protect trade marks, they handle portfolios of all sizes in a way that’s simple, efficient and cost effective.

Bill Ward

CO FOUNDER/ OPERATIONS DIRECTOR

Bill has spent much of his life in operations management, having first been Flight Operations Director at GB Airways, then Senior Vice President of Flight Operations for Qatar Airways, where he was responsible for over 1,000 pilots and 70 aircraft across five fleets. He has brought this vast business knowledge and operations experience with him to Ward Trade Marks, as well as a keen appreciation of brand value and intellectual property. He’s a member of the Institute of Legal Finance and Management and an associate member of the Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys.

Away from work (though he rarely is truly away from work, even when he’s meant to be off the IP instinct is still working, such as the time he spotted a copyright infringement while out for a run) he has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, completed the London Marathon, is a member of Liberty and is involved in local Chamber of Commerce activities.

"Trade mark IP is such an underestimated tool at SME level. Showing our clients what strength it can give them is the most rewarding part of the job. "
