Intellectual Property
In an increasingly knowledge-driven business environment, intellectual property (IP) is an important asset anda key consideration in day-to-day decision making.The firm’s intellectual property practice offers advice and guidance through all aspects of IP strategy, protection, exploitation and enforcement of IP rights. The department specialises and has vast experience in assisting clients in all intellectual property related areas including Trade Marks, Copyright, Patents, Design Rights, and Databases.
Ideas are able to flourish and bear fruits commercially only in the protective embrace of intellectual property – patents, trade marks and brands, designs and copyright. Such is the broad application of IP rights that it affects all manner of intellectual capital; in any creative field.
In recent years this importance has been recognised by policy and legislative reform, both locally and within the EU. The EU has placed strong emphasis on intellectual property, and has factored it into its Lisbon Agenda which aims to make the EU “the most dynamic and competitive knowledge-based economy in the world”.
