"I would like to thank you for all your hard work and patience, particularly as I know it can be very difficult dealing with different people's views.
Once again, thank you so much for your help."

Nearly all businesses generate and use intellectual property, whether it involves inventing a new product, creating a name or sign for your business or even a slogan.
Intellectual property law deals with the appropriation of the fruits of your labours. Intellectual property law also concerns how people can acquire monopoly rights to make certain products or sell them under particular names and how those monopolies are protected. Businesses can keep control over the use other people make of their creative work.
You may be surprised to know that not all of these rights require formal registration. Equally some rights can be lost if not protected from the outset.
A review of how your business operates may reveal rights that you never realised you had. We can offer comprehensive commercial advice on all intellectual property matters including:-
- Confidential information
- Copyright
- Designs
- Domain names
- Know-how
- Patents
- Trade marks and passing off
As well as offering a trade mark searching, filing and registration facility in the UK and European Union (which can be undertaken on a fixed fee basis), we can also offer advice in relation to:-
- the assistance, analysis and development of strategies for full intellectual property protection
- ownership, validity, revocation and infringement disputes in
the UK Trade Marks Office, Community Trade Marks Office
and other international registries
- licensing and assigning intellectual property rights
- intellectual property aspects of employment, competition and
advertising
We are also able to offer an IP health check service in which we can review and advise you on your intellectual property rights. This can vary from a short meeting to a careful consideration of your business and its documentation, and will be followed by clear and understandable written recommendations.
