Our well-qualified team provides comprehensive services in all aspects of IP law, from creation to registration, maintenance, management and exploitation, and enforcement of your IP rights.

Creation:
We advise on the creation of IP rights, which carries with it issues of secrecy, confidence, privacy and ownership. Whenever the need arises, we will also help to resolve questions relating to prior rights searches, derivation of rights, resource allocation, research and development, partnerships and joint ventures.

Maintenance:
Registered IP rights must be diligently kept alive at regular intervals. We have the necessary monitoring and review mechanism to ensure that rights do not expire prematurely or are kept alive needlessly.

Management and Exploitation:
We will help formulate and execute the most appropriate strategy to preserve IP rights without infringing those belonging to others. This may include devising a licensing or franchising plan to maximise returns from IP rights, and undertaking to draft, negotiate and review all agreements related to intellectual property rights. Where necessary, we will also conduct an audit of client portfolio, and conduct in-service seminars.

Enforcement:
IP rights will need to be protected against possible infringers. Our services include conducting market look-outs for infringing goods or services, and obtaining advice on your rights against infringers. If allegations of infringement are made, we will help advise on developing the appropriate defence strategy.

We believe in a holistic approach to the protection and exploitation of our clients, intellectual property rights. Of course, we recognise that needs may vary from client to client. If you would like to discuss any of the above matters or any other legal issue with us, please feel free to contact us.
