The subject matter of intellectual property surrounds us constantly. Whether this takes the form of creative works or artistic and industrial design, formulae, software, commercial processes and procedures or other technology specifications, for many businesses and individuals these can be valuable assets. More often than not, the market position of a product or service will be underpinned by factors that imbue it with a creative edge, or an innovative feature or a reputation associated with an established brand. These assets can be protected and exploited through what we commonly term Intellectual Property (IP) rights. We can assist and advise you in relation to all IP issues.

Specific areas:

* IP acquisition / transfer and licensing arrangements
* Patent – enforcement of rights / infringement avoidance; invalidity challenges; and licensing
* Trademarks/brands – protection advice; trade mark registration; enforcement of rights; and licensing
* Designs – protection advice; design registration; enforcement of rights; and licensing
* Copyright – exploitation and protection advice; assignment of rights and licensing
* Trade secrets – Confidentiality agreements and other protective covenants
* Litigation – IP infringement or misuse of confidential information
