It is easy to overlook the importance of Intellectual Property rights and companies are often unaware of their rights and unsure of how to protect what may be their most valuable asset.
We provide advice on the creation, registration, protection and commercial exploitation of Intellectual Property Rights including:

• Trade Marks
• Passing-off
• Copyright
• Registered and Unregistered Design Right
• Product development and licensing
• Marketing and distribution contracts
• Patents
• Data Protection

We frequently advise clients on how to maximise return on their Intellectual Property assets, negotiating and drafting Distribution contracts and Licences to help clients realise the full commercial potential of their Intellectual Property.

We have particular experience dealing with issues affecting communications companies, fashion houses and luxury goods manufacturers.

Our Intellectual Property team is also experienced in I.P. dispute resolution and litigation, we have recently acted for some household names in I.P. disputes.

With more and more business being conducted over the internet in this media age, it is increasingly important to be familiar with your rights and duties regarding Information Technology and Data Protection.

We can keep you up to speed with the latest developments in these dynamic areas of law, to help your business make the most of its Intellectual Property and respond to and embrace technological, commercial and social change.
