Our Intellectual Property (IP) team advises on all matters related to IP, from identifying rights to the protection of those rights internationally.
IP is a key asset of any business.
Our IP team has extensive experience of advising clients in connection with the identification and registration of IP.
We advise clients on the registration of IP rights both in the UK and internationally. We also advise on various forms of licensing and exploitation of IP rights, ranging from software and trade mark licences to international royalty arrangements.
