Intellectual Property
Intellectual property is the right of ownership of products of human brainpower.
Not all such products can be protected by law – a mere idea, for example, cannot be protected. We may help you develop it into a protectable right.
But there are many rights which can be protected, and you may need our help in seeing they are protected. In most cases that is by registration at a Registry, in the right way, but not so in the case of copyright work, which has to be published.
Intellectual property created by employees or independent contractors may not belong to your business – do you want to make sure they do?
Those rights may be invaluable to your business and you on sale.
Do you wish to retain personal rights to the ownership and grant only revertable licenses? We can advise why you should, and why Bill Gates did.
Whatever your need, from copyright and registration of designs to protection of goodwill, our Commercial Team can help.
You also need look no further should your intellectual property rights be infringed. Our Litigation Team is well experienced in advising, negotiating and where necessary taking action to protect your IP rights. They can discuss your rights, what you wish to achieve and the most preferable remedy. They might even raise or suggest issues, which you had not taken into account!
Whether your needs are contentious or non-contentious, allow our leading team of Surrey solicitors to focus on you and champion your cause.
