Intellectual property disputes
In an ever-shrinking global marketplace, ensuring the proper exploitation and protection of intellectual property (IP), whether it be patents, copyrights, trademarks or trade secrets, has become a commercial necessity.
Our team provides practical and commercial legal advice at every stage in the development of an intellectual property right, from creation and exploitation to protection and enforcement.We advise on keeping ideas and proprietary information confidential, on filing strategies where registration of rights is required, and on the proper management, enforcement and defense of IP rights.
Our experienced patent, copyright and trademark lawyers handle patent prosecutions, trademark and copyright registrations in a number of jurisdictions. We organize the licensing and exploitation of intellectual property rights as a standalone initiative or as part of larger transactions.
Where necessary we also bring and defend litigation, A recent case involved the infringement of a patent on compositions used in nail salons and we obtained successful settlement with no payment by our company and no liability being imposed.
With commercial disputes lawyers in the US, Europe and Asia we have the local and international know how to protect, defend and future proof your brand, your business or new venture.
