Services

We offer our clients a full range of IP legal services, across a broad range of technologies. Our unusual blend of IP and commercial skills are used, in partnership with our clients, to build a commercially focused robust IP position.

We help our clients obtain patents, trade marks and design registrations and use our commercial skills to identify where value can be enhanced or extracted, whether through selective licensing, selling or enforcing.

We have unique experience in the use of advanced patent searching tools to assist with identifying and evaluating new inventions, analysing existing patent landscapes, comparing company patent positions, valuing patent portfolios and identifying licensees and potential infringers.

We also advise in relation to IP rights owned by third parties and associated disputes.

Our areas of expertise include Legal Agreements, Copyright, Patents, Trade Marks, Designs and Licencing.
