Our Intellectual Property Team comprises an impressive group of experienced solicitors with blue chip backgrounds and genuine expertise. By treating intellectual property as a thread which runs right through your business from supply chain to customer experience, we can help you maximise the value from your intellectual property.
We see Intellectual property is an asset to drive revenue, not simply a defensive cost. To work for the business, intellectual property needs to be approached holistically and not just as a piecemeal collection of trade marks, designs, copyright issues and patents with a divide between its commercialisation, protection and enforcement.
We can help you deliver consistent customer experience and brand message and manage intellectual property risks through the supply chain. This will help you realise value from your intellectual property.
Our IP specialists work with blue chip organisations such as Royal Mail, QinetiQ, Kingfisher, Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury's, and New Look, providing both contentious and non-contentious intellectual property work. We advise clients on:
- rights clearance and licensing negotiations
- commercialising IP holdings to drive revenue growth
- dispute management and strategies to avoid infringement actions
- managing substantial trade mark portfolios and advising strategically on their development (the team includes two trade mark attorneys)
- advising on corporate transactions and listings for IP rich companies
- advising on domain name portfolios and cybersquatting
The team has a notable success rate in helping clients with effective dispute management over infringement of patents, trade marks copyrights and designs. We have wide experience of representing clients before the Courts in the UK and abroad.
