Our Knowledge, Your Business
In today’s market, it is rare for a business to only trade in one jurisdiction. Most businesses trade internationally either online or via international trading agreements. If you are active overseas it is important to understand the ramifications for your intellectual property. We can help you identify the intellectual property within your business and advise on a strategy for its protection internationally. We will then propose a way in which to obtain maximum return on investment through the effective exploitation of these valuable resources.
Experts In International Intellectual Property
We can look at the different routes of obtaining protection internationally and advise on the most effective (including from a costs perspective). We work closely with a wide network of overseas associates to secure protection for you throughout the world.
Once you have secured protection we can advise on effective ways to exploit it. We have a specialist team with extensive experience of advising on international licensing deals.
Competition law is often relevant in the context of licensing deals. If your licence arrangements are found to be anti-competitive you could find that you are subject to a substantial fine or that you cannot enforce the contractual provisions. We can guide you through this complex area.
