Intellectual Property

“Don’t leave your intellectual property unprotected.” Peter Jeffery, Partner

Your intellectual property is an important revenue stream that needs to be protected and exploited.

Collectively we have nearly 20 years experience in IP and IP exploitation contracts dealing with the full range of licences and transfer agreements.

We ensure watertight protection for your inventions, business ideas, know-how and brands. Our commercial approach helps you make money out of your intellectual property.

We can manage the entire identification, protection, licensing and registration process, and have links with well respected patent and trademark agents. 

We have extensive experience in all aspects of licensing and exploiting your intellectual property. In particular we offer a niche service to IT companies, offering clients direction and support in all types of agreements including hardware and software development agreements.
