Pragmatic and realistic advice on intellectual property, data protection and information technology

Your unique ideas, inventions and data lie right at the core of your business and infringements can adversely affect your market share.

Our experienced lawyers understand the importance of protecting intellectual property rights. We have extensive experience of advising on infringement of copyright, patents, trademarks and design rights. We can also draw on our knowledge of passing off and domain name disputes, to give you pragmatic and realistic advice on the merits of your position.

As well as significant expertise in advising you on your intellectual property rights, our team has close contacts with local patent and trademark attorneys who can assist you in navigating this complex area of law.

We regularly provide advice in relation to data protection issues, including complaints made to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

IT and software disputes are a particular area of expertise, and our lawyers can support clients with issues arising in respect of contracts for the provision of bespoke software. This includes the legal and practical implications of a failure to deliver, and the risks associated with terminating a contract where that may amount to a repudiatory breach.

We will guide you through the steps and processes that can help put your project back on track or allow you to maximise your recovery in a claim against your supplier.

For a confidential discussion about a possible infringement of your intellectual property rights, contact a member of the team in St Albans, Harpenden or Luton.
