Intellectual property

 

With the growth of a knowledge based economy intellectual property is becoming ever more important and pervasive.

A few years ago our two commercial partners Andrew Payne and Gary Phillips would have dealt with all our IP work. That has now changed. The protection of confidential information is an important area of work for specialists, Karen Bower-Brown and Tim Higham. This means that Intellectual Property work is now part of the regular workload of the whole department.

Amongst the matters we can deal with on your behalf are:-
  • Registration (patents, trade marks, domain names, design rights)
  • Confidentiality Agreements
  • Know-how Agreements
  • Litigation
  • Development Agreements
  • Sales, purchases and securities (stand alone or on conjunction with business transfers)
  • Licensing Agreements
  • Copyright(both literary and industrial)
  • Literary executorship

Contact Karen Bower-Brown for advice about breaches of intellectual property rights, and Tim Higham licensing and registering intellectual property rights
