So you've come up with the great idea or invention that you know is going to take you to a huge success. This is the one. However, you know that lurking out there are all sorts of people and entities that are just waiting to snap up your idea and exploit it for their own purposes as soon as you tell them about your idea or show them your drawings.

Alternatively, you've filed all the necessary applications and registrations and have spent a lot of money to promote your brand, but suddenly there's your rival promoting virtually the same product across the road! And you know that they have no right to.

Our dispute resolution lawyers offer wide experience in the development and protection of all forms of intellectual property.

We are expert in advising on the development, licensing and protection of all forms of intellectual property including:

  • Patents (including regulatory compliance)
  • Trademarks ( UK , European and worldwide)
  • Copyright (music, film and all forms of new media)
  • Design rights
  • Confidential information and data base protection
  • Passing Off
  • Trade Libel
  • Sports Merchandising and Sponsorship

Our dispute resolution solicitors have great experience in protecting those rights before the appropriate tribunal and through the courts and, if necessary, obtaining early suitable injunctive relief to protect those rights pending a final decision.

We also work closely with our Corporate Team to put in place commercial agreements, strategies and appropriate corporate structures to best exploit your intellectual property rights.
