Home > Services for Business > Intellectual Property

Your rights to inventions, secrets, reputation, creative works and design can be your most valuable business assets. Protecting these rights is best done at the outset rather than following an infringement when it will be necessary to undertake expensive and uncertain litigation.

These rights can add value to your business but good housekeeping is essential. We will advise on the appropriate protection in the UK, Europe and other countries and work with you to devise a development strategy that will maximise your income without compromising the integrity of your asset. We have developed particular expertise in the use and abuse of domain names.

We can also advise on:

  • Copyright and patents
  • Design rights
  • Trade mark and business name protection
  • Research and development agreements
  • Licence agreements
