Areas of Practice
We can maximise the value of your patents & trademarks whilst also providing directional strategic portfolio management.
Patents
A patent is a monopoly right, granted by a government, to allow the inventor/holder to commercially capitalise on their innovative new technology, process or invention for a set period of time, whilst excluding anyone else from taking advantage of the innovation.
We have a wide range of experience with different patent authorities around the world and understand the intricate nature of the process.
We can also assist in securing the best possible commercialisation of these patents, whether that be through IPO, assigning them, licensing them out or further developing them.
Strategic Portfolio Management
We have experience gained in the context of big pharma and we have used that to help our smaller biotech clients to build portfolios and strategies that will assist them in realising the value of their intellectual property.
Trademarks
A trademark is a symbol, recognisable sign, expression, word, or collection of words that are established or legally registered that show consumers the origin of a particular good or service and distinguish it from other goods or services. They are protectable intellectual property rights across the world.
It is important to make sure that your trademark is adequately protected through professional procurement and adequate clearance is performed prior to product launch to reduce your commercial risk.
We have a broad-reaching knowledge and experience of trademarks, their registration, prosecution and defence and clearance.
