Intellectual Property Disputes
IP disputes often involve more than one IP right and can often have a regulatory aspect. They therefore require a good understanding of how different IP rights and relevant laws interact. Our thorough understanding of all types of IP and relevant laws enables us to give the best advice for resolving a dispute no matter how complicated the issues and whatever the nature of your business, be it product or service based, traditional or on-line. We advise in disputes involving all types of IP and related legal issues, including:
- Copyright
- Design rights
- Trade marks and passing off
- Domain names
- Patents
- Privacy and confidential information
- Image rights
- Database rights
- Data protection
- Defamation
- Contractual disputes involving IP
- Disputes arising from the use of social media
Our aim is always to find the best solution to a dispute not just to litigate. We are therefore experienced in both the negotiation of disputes and litigation before the Courts.
Our experts will also help you to put in place measures designed to avoid litigation as well as to strengthen your IP rights and chances of success in the event that you do end up in a dispute.
We offer fixed fee IP and data protection audits in order to help you identify your IP/IT strengths and weaknesses.
