Intellectual Property Services

Patents, trade marks and design protection may be our bread and butter. But our approach is always individually tailored. Whether you’re bringing a new product to market or managing an existing IP portfolio, dealing with infringement or developing an IP strategy, we focus on getting the best possible outcome for you and your business.

Patents

We cover the entire spectrum of patent law – from drafting new patent applications and handling oppositions, to assessing validity and conducting intellectual property audits. Our attorneys take a genuine interest in what they do – and consistently deliver to a very high standard.

Trade marks

We know what goes into building a brand – we’ve been working on ours for over 150 years. And we understand how important it is to trust us to protect your trade mark with a tailored strategy, while also making the application process as straightforward as possible.

Designs

When patents are unavailable or inappropriate, design protection can be the ideal course to take. But securing the right protection requires understanding of your industry – and the markets you operate in. This is where our team’s eye for detail and deep knowledge of registered designs, proves highly effective.

Copyright

Let us help you understand how copyright can be key to protecting your original creative works, and how it can sit alongside other registered IP rights.

International Associates

In today’s global marketplace, your clients' IP protection needs to go further afield. So having a trusted local firm to partner with is crucial.

In-house IP departments

Now and again, in-house IP teams need external support. When we’re called on, we bring to the table all our experience and expertise – and a tailored approach.

Intellectual Property Strategy

Whether you’re buying, selling or simply looking after day-to-day business needs, your IP should be in prime condition. That can involve making sure your rights are secure, through to seeking advice on getting the best from your IP portfolio.

Investors

Evaluate the intellectual property of a potential investment before you sign on the dotted line.
