Intellectual property rights and investments in design and development can represent significant assets to an organisation. We help protect these critical elements.
Understanding intellectual property rights (IPR) is often crucial to understanding the value of a business. We can help you determine where you may have legitimate intellectual property rights and whether you need to take any steps to secure these. We can help you:-
- Identify the constituent parts to the intellectual property in your business
- Identify the owner of each element of intellectual property
- Identify rights of external contractors and employees
- Establish whether third parties have (or ought to have) assigned or licensed their IPR to your business
- Highlight potential gaps in your IPR value chain
Our lawyers advise on a wide range of intellectual property issues including:-
- Copyright and database rights
- Trade marks and brand protection
- Patent protection and exploitation
- Licensing and technology transfer
- Registered design and design rights
- Protecting information and trade secrets
- Joint ventures
