A small garden supply business called L V Bespoke recently won its fight to keep its name against the French luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton. Experts say such cases have increased “hugely” in the past 18 months as major brands seek to protect their intellectual property. But what actually happens when a multi-national firm comes knocking at your door?
Before the Covid-19 pandemic, Victoria Osborne ran a holiday letting business and her husband Lawrence worked in construction.
“When the pandemic arrived, both of our incomes were wiped out literally overnight,” says Mrs Osborne.

The supports turned out well. So well, in fact, the couple wondered if others would be willing to pay for them. They were.
The business grew from selling the supports on Gumtree and at car boot sales to being featured by the Royal Horticultural Society.
The couple had named the business using their own first initials, and L V Bespoke was born.
The trade mark was sent off to the Intellectual Property Office (IPO), which receives more than 150,000 registration requests each year, in December 2021. An examiner carried out initial checks and no issues were raised.
