A WINCHESTER firm specialising in intellectual property has been relaunched under a different name.

The former Chapan Molony has been rebranded Chapman+Co to include its newest members of staff at its base in Staple Gardens.

Helga Chapman, founder and director of Chapman+Co, said: “Over the last few years there has been an uplift in businesses looking for jargon-free patent and trade mark advice. This has enabled us to bring in additional experts who each have an in depth knowledge of their areas of expertise.

“We felt a new name was required to reflect our larger team but wanted to ensure our reputation for providing a friendly and efficient approach remained.”

The company, which also has offices at Cardiff, London, Warwick and Swansea, has expanded to work with a range of companies, from multi-nationals to start-ups, and has launched a new website, chapmanip.com.
