Joanne was one of the Maucher Jenkins trade mark team that secured a major high profile victory for Nestlé in the Court of Appeal in their long-running battle to stop Cadbury registering the colour purple (Pantone 2685C) as a trade mark in the UK for a wide range of chocolate-related goods.
Following this, Joanne was chosen to appear as The Times "Lawyer of the Week" on 17 October 2013, featured in the December 2013 edition of the trade mark profession's ITMA (now CITMA) Review, and was recognised as a "star associate" in the The Lawyer magazine's "Hot 100" list of lawyers in the "litigation/regulation" category in January 2014.
