Intellectual Property

Advice on protection and registration (where possible) to preserve all rights and exploit them to commercial advantage, whether for packaging to protect a sportsman’s or media star’s image rights, or a commercial organisation’s valuable intangible assets from unfair competition or worse.
Cases taken to stop such infringement using the full forces available at law. Innovative approaches to ensure that your ideas aren’t misused or your data stolen. All steps are taken to use domestic and international laws to protect the very root of all businesses.
If you are on the wrong end of a lawsuit, we will advise how to defend yourself, including how to go on the counter-attack where your competitor is trying to argue that they have rights which they have not got. Making threats that aren’t justified can be illegal and lead to damages.
