Intellectual Property

We provide clients across a variety of sectors with advice on their intellectual property rights and strategies, including trademarks, copyright, patents, design rights, confidential information and know-how.

We have particular experience in the energy, software and technology and food and drink sectors, helping clients to protect and exploit their intellectual property assets. We regularly advise on obtaining trademarks, licence agreements, software licences, the disposal of IP assets, non-disclosure agreements, collaboration agreements and research and development agreements.

Our team are also experienced in advising on the intellectual property-specific provisions of commercial contracts to ensure these provisions align with our clients’ business requirements.

In addition to the non-contentious IP support, our team also provides clients with advice on contentious matters such as infringement, disputes and ultimately litigation, should that be necessary.
