Intellectual Property and Licensing

Don’t look for short-term solutions. Your intellectual property must be protected properly – not just for today, but also against tomorrow’s eventualities. We work closely with you to establish protective strategies that safeguard intellectual property into the future and around the world. Our top European lawyers have more than enough experience and skill to advise you on everything from trademarks to trade secrets.

We’re genuine specialists. We focus on the key to protecting your IP: structuring, drafting and negotiating successful IP transactions. Our experienced specialists can advise on a broader range of issues, too, including brand-portfolio management, exploitation, licensing and supporting you in deals where significant IP is at stake.

We can give you added marketing support. Knowing where branding, marketing and sales processes interact with the law is central to the success of new products or services. We’ll put a dedicated team of experts on the case to help you make the most of marketing and retailing opportunities.

We work with the policy-makers. We can give clients the latest insights into IP protection through our membership of the Chartered Institute of Patent Agents, LES, the International Trade Mark Association and the Anti-Counterfeiting Group.

Here are some recent highlights from our intellectual property practice.
