What is

Intellectual Property Law?

Who owns an idea? Intellectual Property Law answers this question. Ideas can appear to be intangible, so Intellectual Property Law provides mechanisms to determine ownership, such as copyright and trademark. The law also concerns who has rights to a design or logo, who can develop and sell a new product, and how you protect them. Our intellectual property lawyers have the advice you need to protect your ideas, and where appropriate, can provide access to specialist patent attorneys.

Situations where you’ll need a specialist in Intellectual Property Law:

  • Licensing
  • Confidentiality agreements
  • Trademark registration
  • Copyright protection
  • Plant variety rights
  • Protecting trade secrets
  • Advice about patents
