Intellectual Property Law

To be of any value, Intellectual Property Rights (“IPR”) must be adequately protected so as to be capable of commercial exploitation either by the owner or by a third party under licence. We have over twenty years’ experience in advising individuals, universities and funders on IPR issues including Research Agreements; Service Agreements; Collaboration Agreements; Confidentiality Agreements and Licensing Agreements. This is a specialist area of law that requires specialist advice. Our aim is to act quickly to achieve excellent outcomes and help clients not only with legal issues but with the whole process of business development.

Our clients are based in the UK and beyond and cover a range of disciplines from University Spin-Out companies and computer games and digital media to leading-edge instruments and devices for endoscopic surgery.

We also offer a trademark registration service in the UK.
