IP Strategy

IP strategy should be aligned with a company’s business strategy to leverage the most value from your IP assets.

Trade marks

A trademark is the legally protectable part of your brand and includes names, logos, 3D shapes, sounds, smells, colour combinations and slogans.

Design right protection

Design right protection in the UK is complex and multi-layered. There are UK unregistered design right and UK registered design right, as well as unregistered EU design right and registered EU design right which currently cover the UK.

Copyright

Copyright is an automatic right that exists at the point of creation, and can apply to original literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works, sounds recordings, films, broadcasts, software, and the typographical arrangement of published editions.
