Working with clients to capture and protect their innovation and IP assets
Globalisation has made the world we live in more interconnected than ever. With the increase in innovation, creativity, and advances in technology – identifying and protecting your intellectual property has become increasingly important.
Our leading intellectual property team is actively engaged in supporting governments and their agencies, start-ups and industry-leading institutions that are driven by a thirst for transformation.
We help our clients across the entire intellectual property life cycle to capture, commercialise and protect their innovation and intellectual assets:
| Protection | Commercialisation | Transformation | Enforcement | Development |
| IP registration | Transactional M&A support | Sourcing and procurement | Technology disputes | Registration strategies |
| IP ownership validation | Franchising and licensing | Emerging tech regulation | Comparative advertising | Tech and invention counselling |
| Assignment and transfer | Media, marketing and sponsorship | Data protection and information security | IP litigation | IP portfolio planning |
| E-commerce | Portfolio management |
We support across our firm's main sector focuses and have developed a strong client base in traditional IP rich sectors such as, biotech and pharmaceutical, entertainment, and technology as well as brand-heavy sectors such as food and beverage, hospitality, retail and luxury goods. We are proud to say that we act for some of the largest and most established IP owners in these sectors, helping them to navigate the challenges they face from an intellectual property and business perspective.
Placing our clients at the centre of everything we do, our aim is to combine our specialist experience with market-leading relationship management to build a service which is tailored specifically to the needs of our clients, based on an understanding of their individual needs, as well as the risks, capital and operational issues they face.
