We will always agree an action plan, budget and assemble the right team to deal with your issue.

Our intellectual property team have a proven track record of assisting clients. It can very intimidating for a small business to be threatened with infringement by a large corporation and it is important to get the right advice at an early stage.

We are able to assist in a number of non-contentious areas relating to intellectual property (IP). In particular we can prepare contractual documents to deal with the assignment of IP rights and the licensing of IP rights. We can also advise on, prepare and submit trademark applications and provide advice on waivers and releases. We are also experienced in advising on general contractual matters relating to ownership of IP rights including website development agreements.

Some examples of our recent work include:

A client who wished to launch a new product on to the market without any protection. They urgently needed our help as they wanted to attend a trade fair and release details of their product to the press. After help from us they were able to go ahead with their plans, after fully protecting their intellectual property rights.

A well-known brand recently accused one of our clients of trademark infringement. After spending some time clarifying the facts of the alleged infringement, we were able to help defend our client’s position, allowing them to continue with their business.
