All our patent attorneys have high level technical skills, knowledge and experience, within their own scientific or engineering disciplines. Together, they cover all areas of technology and form one large resource of expert technical and legal capability.
We can advise our clients comprehensively and efficiently in all technical areas – whether engineering, electronics, IT, biotech, life sciences or chemistry. Increasingly, inventions are multi-disciplinary and our patent attorneys are efficient in working together in small teams, in order to handle such inventions optimally.
Some people might consider designs and copyright to be of minor importance but this is wrong. In fact, designs and copyright are powerful and all-pervasive legal rights. Copyright protects software, written works, drawings, photographs, music, videos and much more.
Design protection is provided for the way products look. Registered designs can be obtained to secure the strongest protection but some protection is available automatically, without registration. Protection is available for 2-D and 3-D designs, and some protection is available for functional designs as well as for aesthetic designs.
A trade mark is a legal shield which underpins a successful brand. It identifies a business, and carries its unique message to the market. It can protect a domain name and prevent brand theft, and brand encroachment. It can become enormously valuable, both to an ongoing business and as an asset on the balance sheet.
As a UK trade mark firm, we have a strong and successful team of trade mark professionals, who work with clients in all business sectors – including FMCG, media, financial services, IT, life sciences and engineering. Our team includes expert trade mark attorneys, solicitors and paralegals.
IP strategy is the body of planned measures a business adopts, in order to use intellectual property (IP) to secure business advantage over its competitors.
To have a good IP strategy is to be active, and have the opportunity to leverage good IP outcomes. To have a weak IP strategy, or no IP strategy, can leave a business as the passive victim of events.
Aside from our core areas of expertise, we are able to offer various support services which supplement or expand on these core areas. To offer this support, we can call upon the services of any our highly skilled experts, whether they are patent attorneys, trade mark attorneys, solicitors or paralegals.
We can assemble the appropriate team of experts to handle various issues which are encountered by our clients and we are always happy to assist in whatever way we can.
Any intellectual property (IP) dispute is likely to be complex and combative. In its active phase it has to be fought hard. We have the right personnel to handle any IP dispute effectively.
The resources we have include specialist IP solicitors, patent attorneys covering all technical areas, trade mark attorneys and design attorneys experienced in all business sectors, and IP paralegals.
