Brands and Intellectual Property
One of the most important things you can do is to protect your name, brand identity, content and design. If you've invented or created something, you need to be able to make use of and benefit from it without interference from others.
We advise companies and individuals on their inventions, the protection of their content, name and brands, across all sectors.
We deal with the creation, utilisation and protection of confidential information, patents, design rights and trademarks, including industrial, TMT, music, film, TV and publishing. Whether you sell beer or children's toys, or you're an industrial designer or medical inventor, we can help you.
