Recover undisclosed commissions.
If your organisation has been a client of an IP law firm that passed on your IP renewals to CPA Global (now Clarivate), you could benefit from recovery of undisclosed commissions.
In 2021, Commission Recovery Limited issued proceedings against Marks & Clerk LLP concerning payments made by CPA Global between 14 March 2009 and 1 February 2018 which were settled in October 2024 - Read More
Many other IP law firms have routinely referred IP renewals to CPA Global/Clarivate and received significant payments in respect of each renewal carried out. Under English Law, firms have a duty to obtain informed consent from their clients for the receipt of such payments. If you have not been told, in advance, how much your lawyers were to be paid in respect of each renewal then your informed consent has arguably not been given.
