Intellectual Property

We offer a wide range of services relating to the identification, protection and exploitation of intellectual property rights including confidentiality, patents, copyright, design rights, trade marks, know how, database rights and domain names.

This encompasses both non contentious aspects, such as advising in relation to the registration of such rights and in connection with contracts relating to exploitation whether by way of sale or by licence and also contentious aspects, including taking or defending legal proceedings such as infringement or 'passing off' actions, or 'cyber squatting' in respect of domain names.
