Below are some select achievements of William Roger Stone Lawyers or our team:

Ekologix Australia Pty Ltd v Outdure Pty Ltd (Unreported)

Commenced Proceedings for a building materials supplier against another supplier within the same industry with respect to breach of Intellectual Property. Our Principal prepared evidence demonstrating numerous breaches of our client’s registered trademark. William Roger Stone Lawyers successfully obtained a declaration that use of the trademarked word was a breach and ordered the immediate removal of that word from the Defendant’s online advertising.

Intellectual Property

We acted on behalf of a building company who allegedly breached protected commercial intellectual property of another business. We successfully refuted the claim, as the alleged “passing off” was not protected by a registered trademark and we suggested that they may have been unable to register a trademark due to the universal use of the “deceptively similar” words within the building industry. Our client was able to continue its operations with no changes to its valuable brand.

Shareholder Agreements

William Roger Stone Lawyers have also assisted large private corporations with market values exeeding $5 million with regards to shareholder oppressive conduct claims. Our team skillfully and successfully negotiated departure of the shareholder and an equitable sale of shares to the remaining shareholder without initiating any formal legal proceedings.
