Everything you need to register, defend and maintain your intellectual property.

A strong brand deserves strong protection. We advise on the clearance, registration, protection and enforcement of trade marks across the UK, EU and internationally, helping businesses secure the names, logos and other distinctive signs on which their reputation is built. From first filing to portfolio growth and disputes, we provide practical advice at every stage.

Technical innovation can be one of a business’s most valuable commercial assets. We support the protection of inventions through patent searching, drafting, filing and prosecution before the UKIPO and EPO, as well as internationally through the PCT system. We also manage ongoing patent formalities and renewals to help maintain protection throughout the life of the right.

Distinctive product design creates value of its own. We help businesses protect the appearance of their products through registered design rights in the UK and EU and internationally through the Hague System, covering features including shape, configuration, patterns and ornamentation.

When intellectual property rights are challenged, the response needs to be both legally and commercially proportionate. We advise on trade mark and design oppositions, cancellation proceedings, infringement and broader enforcement strategy, with a strong focus on resolving disputes efficiently through negotiation where possible and escalating where necessary.

Intellectual property should do more than sit on a register. We advise on licensing, assignments, coexistence agreements, IP due diligence and other commercial arrangements involving intellectual property, helping businesses exploit, transfer and structure their rights while protecting their long-term value.

As a business grows, its intellectual property portfolio needs to grow with it. We provide ongoing portfolio management across jurisdictions, including renewals, recordals, watching and strategic reviews, with deadlines and rights centrally tracked. The result is a portfolio that remains current, commercially relevant and aligned with the direction of the business.
