Intellectual Property

Intellectual property is what gives your business its competitive advantage, which is why it is so important to protect this often intangible element of a business’ success.

Our lawyers have provided strategic intellectual property advice to a range of public and private companies. We prepare agreements regarding a variety of issues relating to: trademarks; copyright and confidential information; and negotiation and preparation of system acquisition and software license agreements.

In addition, we provide legal services to ensure that our clients protect and capitalize on their intellectual property assets. Our goal is to provide forward-thinking, creative advice that matches your business strategies.

We regularly provide advice on issues, including:

  • Copyrights (music, film, performances, academic research, and art);
  • Trademarks (brand names, logos and domain names);
  • Licensing;
  • Media and Entertainment;
  • Trade secrets, Confidential Information and Know-how;
  • Advertising & Marketing;
  • Privacy;
  • Official Marks (public authorities) and University Marks; and
  • Confidentiality.
