The Little IP Company

I needed some Intellectual Property advice in Rutland and an internet search brought up Gemma Ryan’s Little IP Company in Oakham. I was very impressed by Gemma’s qualifications and website and felt that she would be the ideal person to ask locally for advice regarding the Intellectual Property matters surrounding a Deed of Assignment. Gemma had provided excellent and very thoughtfully considered written advice and also very kindly offered an in-person meeting at her office in Oakham. Throughout our meeting Gemma explained the ins and outs of the Deed of Assignment very clearly and helpfully and made me aware of several important aspects of the Deed which I would not have had the specialised insight to appreciate fully. Gemma was totally professional, warm and friendly throughout. She left me in no doubt that she entirely understood what I needed to be aware of in terms of the Deed, and her measured, considered written and verbal explanations were a huge support to me. I would recommend Gemma’s Little IP Company without hesitation to anyone looking for support in this area. Thank you very much, Gemma!

Gemma was hugely helpful and knowledgeable in applying for and gaining the trademark for my REAL online programme. I highly recommend the Little IP Company.

A good friend who happens to be a solicitor recommended Gemma to us before she started The Little IP Company. Gemma was extremely knowledgeable and friendly so we were keen to continue working with her at The Little IP Company. She took the time to understand our small business, provided valuable legal advice, consulting with US counterparts where necessary, and registered us for the trademarks that we needed. Her guidance, clear communication and honesty has been invaluable and we feel lucky to have a safe pair of hands to turn to in the future should the need arise. As well as doing a fantastic job, Gemma was a joy to work with and I would highly recommend her.

Gemma Ryan from The Little IP Company was an absolute pleasure to work with, from our first telephone contact where she provided advice and reassurance, all the way through to settling our (vexatious litigant) case and registering a trademark for us so that this does not happen again in the future! I would absolutely recommend Gemma for her prompt responses, thorough knowledge, personal understanding and willingness to work with her client on resolving matters to their satisfaction. I genuinely felt that Gemma understood all aspects of the case, from the emotional impact on us as business owners to the intricate nature of our speciality. Gemma was always fair and balanced in her view, giving us all aspects to consider before recommending a course of action. I would give Gemma 10 out of 5 stars if I could!

Gemma recently secured our trademark for Six Figure Niche, so that we could protect our content, web address, book title, podcast and workshops. It's an important step for us, to ensure that we're not copied, or that someone else doesn't register the name and leave us with a lot of material that needs rewriting, and marketing to change. I honestly wouldn't have known where to start without Gemma. She made the whole process really easy and pain-free, because she spent the time getting to know what the programme is about, and she made recommendations for things we hadn't considered. I'm always singing Gemma's praises to other business owners, and as we grow our business, we'll be in a position to trademark more elements with Gemma of course.

After a glowing recommendation from a friend of mine, I sort Gemma’s advice on a variety of IP-related things including copyright ownership, contracts and trademark registration. She was brilliant from the get-go, her thorough and very transparent approach consistently delivering everything I needed with minimal issue. I particularly valued her ability to empathise with the start up nature of my business, helping me to weigh up the risk vs cost of various IP investments. And by operating as a boutique-type consultancy, Gemma enables her clients to tap into the experience and know-how of a “big firm lawyer” but without the huge “big firm fees”. Which not only means she provides exceptional value for money, but helped me get a much better night’s sleep in the process. Oh and she’s also a great egg who is an absolute pleasure to work with! As a start-up in need of IP advice, her business was the perfect fit for me. And so I would highly recommend The Little IP Company and Gemma will continue to be my go-to for all things IP in the future.

I found The Little IP Company on the CITMA website. I asked The Little IP Company to help us with a trade mark violation. We choose this firm because we appreciate the 'small firm' experience and the excellent service such organisations can offer. The Little IP Company were able to quickly and efficiently resolve our trade mark violation issue. I would highly recommend this firm for help with IP issues.

Gemma has been great for our business. Her knowledge is truly outstanding. Thank you.
