Recognize your own worth and contribution. Take ownership of the innovation and creativity that make your business unique. Your intangible rights need not be uncalculated or undervalued.
Intangible assets include not only designs, inventions and trademarks but also know-how, confidentiality and privacy – all of which are invaluable to modern businesses. We will work with you to ensure that your ideas are protected and that you secure the income stream you deserve and are entitled to from your hard work. We will aim to understand how your business works and then provide you with advice on the best and most cost-effective method of protection whether by registration, licensing or by negotiated agreement.
Even if your business is not concerned with developing its own design or technology you may own intellectual property which can be valuable and may require protection. We can assist you in protecting, exploiting and maximising the value of your intellectual property; providing advice on assignment and licensing of registered and unregistered intellectual property, copyright, passing off, establishment of existence, ownership, protection advice, deterring infringers; licensing and disputes; new product development, protection and exploitation; protection of confidential information; and registrability of trade marks, patents and registered designs
We can help resolve disputes relating to the supply and use of technology and can provide legal advice and practical assistance on issues arising from technology implementation, IP infringement, e-mail and web site abuse and web site compliance. We also provide advice on risk management and the nature and extent of IT professional and digital risks insurance cover.
Speed is often vital if your rights are not to be permanently impaired. We have the structures in place to take immediate steps to seek injunctive or other relief, but that is not the only way of solving the problem. Whether through the issuing of court proceedings or via alternative methods of negotiation, mediation or arbitration, we'll help you ensure that your intellectual property rights remain yours.
Our aim is to avoid, contain and resolve disputes. Many issues relating to hardware and software are essentially about quality, fitness for purpose and reliability where expert legal advice is required
