Frankie Thomas

I joined the trade mark team at D Young & Co in October 2024 after graduating from the University of Manchester. What excites me most about this role is the diversity of work and clients I engage with, from innovative start-ups to some of the world’s leading multinational corporations. I have a strong passion for emerging technologies, particularly digital assets like cryptocurrencies, where intellectual property plays a pivotal role in shaping the future landscape.

As part of the trade mark team, I provide comprehensive support to partners, solicitors, and attorneys across all stages of contentious and non-contentious IP matters, both in the UK and internationally. My role encompasses a wide variety of responsibilities, including drafting witness statements, hearing notes, trade mark specifications, cease and desist letters, conducting legal research and managing large-scale evidence collection. Additionally, I regularly undertake domain name monitoring, domain name disputes, as well as social media and website takedowns, ensuring that no two days are ever the same.

I work with an equally diverse client base spanning industries such as technology, food and beverage, fashion and retail, entertainment, media, hospitality, engineering, and electronics.
