Testimonials

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our clients have to say about us.

It was an absolute joy to work with Girl Friday IP to get our trade mark protection sorted. The process was seamless and easy, Fi was great and highly communicative. I had previously worked on DIY-ing the trade mark process and it was a nightmare, so I highly recommend Girl Friday IP. Fi’s the best.

Jess Ruhfus, Collabosaurus

Professional yet personable, Fi was not only a pleasure to deal with but her knowledge and efficiency are second to none. Painless IP, who would have thought?

Dr Anthony Marinucci, Omit Headcare

Fi makes the complex and confusing practice of trade mark protection SO easy and simple to understand. Her advice was practical, honest and extremely professional. I would (and already have!) recommend her and Girl Friday IP to anyone!

Chelsea Carey, Sojourne Luggage

With not much knowledge about trade marks, I reached out to Girl Friday IP and Fi was so generous with her time in explaining and detailing all aspects. I’m excited that our application has started and look forward to making our brand the “real deal” and getting it protected. Thank you Fi!

Greer McKendry, Piyama

Omnistruct would like to thank Girl Friday IP for their help in obtaining our trade mark. We were nervous about the process, but Fi was knowledgable, reliable and extremely efficient. We were never left guessing and knew where we were in the process every step of the way.
