Intellectual Property and questions of rights and ownership can become relevant in any context where a bright idea has value. Whether you are a startup blazing a trail with fresh new concepts, an individual whose personal creative labour has value in its own right, or a well-established concern looking to sell or acquire a significant package of IP, we can give you the Intellectual Property assistance your unique circumstances demand.
It can, however, be a confusing field to master, not least because IP comes in several different flavours with differing requirements. Copyright or unregistered design rights may reside automatically in work produced for you, or by your employees, or by your contractors, and simply by doing business in the market you may have already developed some goodwill and a reputation for your brand, which in some instances may protect you against “passing off”. However, if you want to make effective use of these rights, you will need to have a clear idea of what they are, where you have a claim, and what you can do to enforce them.
