Intellectual property

As our economy becomes more ‘knowledge-based’ and the value of intellectual property increases, there is inevitably more scope for dispute. By its very nature, the disputes are often varied and complex, as are the legal skills required to resolve them.

As with all commercial disputes, we endeavour to resolve them by ADR, as this is consistent with the commercial objectives of most of our clients.

Many disputes are resolved by seeking and obtaining undertakings from an infringer. However, if litigation is required, including injunctions and other proceedings, we have the experienced lawyers to handle your case. If your dispute arises outside of the jurisdiction of UK courts, we are able to work with English speaking lawyers in other countries.

We can assist clients in both enforcement and defence of intellectual property rights in the following areas:

  • Passing off
  • Copyright
  • Trademarks
  • Data protection
  • Cross border disputes
