INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY & IT

Our experts grow and protect some of the world’s biggest brands, patents and designs. We take pride in our ability to adapt regardless of the size, the growth rate, or targets of our clients. It is this flexibility that enables us to develop and help monetise our clients’ IP rights and safeguard our clients’ IT services.

We do this by performing trade mark, design and patent searches to identify registered intellectual property and filing for registered protection, alongside unregistered rights such as copyright, confidential information and database rights. Our experts also advise on client registrations and those of competitors to ensure our clients’ IP strategy matches the plan for growth and assist with their commercial arrangements.

We are involved in the protection and enforcement of national and international trade mark and patent rights, providing filing and prosecution services in addition to enforcement. Our lawyers act in relation to the full range of IP disputes - patent, trade mark, copyright and design rights, database rights and confidential information as well as drafting and negotiating IP and IT agreements.
