We advise businesses, entrepreneurs and individuals on the protection, commercialisation and enforcement of intellectual property rights. Intellectual property is often among a business's most valuable assets, and we help clients ensure that their rights are properly secured, effectively managed and robustly defended.
Trade Marks & Brand Protection
We advise on the registration and protection of trade marks, brand names, logos and other identifiers. Our work includes clearance searches, applications to the UK Intellectual Property Office, oppositions, cancellations and ongoing portfolio management. We also advise on broader brand protection strategies, including domain name disputes and online infringement.
Patents & Innovation
We advise on the protection of inventions and innovative processes, including patent applications, licensing and disputes. We help clients understand how to secure and maintain patent rights, and how to use those rights commercially.
Copyright, Designs & Confidential Information
We advise on the protection and exploitation of copyright, design rights, trade secrets and confidential information. Our work includes ownership disputes, licensing arrangements, infringement claims and the protection of proprietary know-how.
Licensing & Commercialisation
We draft and negotiate intellectual property licences, technology transfer agreements, franchise arrangements and other commercial agreements that involve the use or exploitation of IP rights. We help clients structure arrangements that protect their position while enabling growth and collaboration.
Enforcement & Disputes
We act for clients in intellectual property disputes, including trade mark and patent infringement claims, passing off, breach of confidence and disputes over ownership. We advise on pre-action strategies, negotiation, litigation and settlement.
