Intellectual Property

Intellectual property allows individuals to own their creative and inspired ideas. Often known as IP, this protection can safeguard your innovative ideas, something which we class as some of your business’ greatest assets, and something you don’t want your competitors to get hold of.

Our IP specialist practice is renowned and held in high esteem by peers and clients alike. Not only do we understand the importance of achieving and protecting intellectual property rights, we are swift to take action against rival companies looking to exploit our clients.

We advise clients to undertake a fully comprehensive and detailed IP audit. This audit is designed to identify weaknesses and strengths in the property whilst revealing the true value of the intellectual property you hold.

We also provide advice on issues including assignment and licensing of intellectual property, joint venture/collaboration, research and development agreements, due diligence in the event of the sale or purchase of IP (as a stand alone asset or as part of a transaction) and infringement actions for and against clients.
