Intellectual property

Protect your creations
and investments

Copyrights, patents, design rights, trade marks or know how. You may own intellectual property rights that a third party wants to use. Or a third party may want to use your intellectual property rights. We’ll help you identify the rights you own or the further rights you need and develop appropriate licensing structures that work commercially for you.

Examples of intellectual property projects that we’ve been involved with include:

  • a worldwide split in ownership of a soft drink brand as part of a private equity investment;
  • the commercialisation of oil pipeline technology;
  • the international licensing of restaurant and bar concepts;
  • fashion collaborations between retail stores and well-known designers;
  • the exclusive licensing of image rights in the “web 3” space;
  • brand licensing in connection with consumer goods; and
  • the roll out and maintenance (i.e. managing terminations, variations and advice on day to day issues) in connection with a number of different franchises, both in the UK and internationally.

In each case, we take account of the bundle of rights that are associated with each of the intellectual property rights in question, your business model, and competition and other applicable laws. Our experience means that we’re able to quickly develop and implement an intellectual property solution that works for your business.
