Intellectual Property

Service overview

What we do

Ideas, brands, technology and creative works are often among an organisation’s most valuable assets. Protecting them, commercialising them and understanding their value can play an important role in long-term success.
We advise businesses, entrepreneurs, investors and innovators on the creation, protection, management and exploitation of intellectual property rights. Alongside intellectual property lawyers, our team includes patent and trade mark attorneys, allowing us to support clients across the full spectrum of intellectual property matters, from registration and portfolio management through to licensing and related commercial agreements, management of disputes and strategic advice.
Our intellectual property lawyers and patent and trade mark specialists work closely with other specialists in Commercial, Corporate, Data, Technology and Disputes to ensure intellectual property considerations are fully aligned with a client’s wider business objectives.

How we can help

Intellectual property opportunities and issues arise in many different situations, from developing a new product, service or technology to launching a brand, entering new markets, securing investment or completing a business acquisition.
We advise on trade marks, patents, copyright, designs, confidential information and know-how, helping clients protect their intellectual property and make effective use of it. Our work includes portfolio management, registration strategies, licensing arrangements, commercialisation projects, intellectual property transactions and brand protection, as well as disputes concerning ownership, infringement and enforcement.
Whether a client is developing a new innovation, growing an established brand or managing a valuable intellectual property portfolio, our focus is on helping them protect what they have created and realise its commercial value.
This puts the patent and trade mark attorney capability front and centre without sounding like a feature list. More importantly, it explains why it matters to the client, which is that they can access protection, registration, commercialisation and dispute expertise in one place, rather than needing separate legal and attorney advisers.
