SERVICES
IP & IT
Our IP lawyers offer a full range of advice on intellectual property to help you to create, exploit and protect your brand – something we appreciate can be one of your most valuable business assets.
We provide a complete registration service, including preparing and submitting applications for trade marks, design rights, patents and domain names. We advise on the best structure for applications and likelihood of their success, as well as on opposition to help you to defend or oppose any new applications and existing registrations.
Intellectual property rights often form a key element of joint ventures and the sale and purchase of assets and businesses. We help to secure your interests in transactions of that nature through detailed due diligence and appropriate contractual safeguards.
We also draft, review and negotiate individual licence agreements, franchise agreements and IP development and maintenance agreements for you where intellectual property forms a significant element of the transaction.
