Intellectual Property
We offer comprehensive services to cover the needs of intellectual property and technology owners. We take on the work and responsibilities entrusted to us with full commitment backed by in-depth knowledge and specialised skills honed from years of experience practising in this field.

Our areas of practice

Patent, Industrial Design and Trade Mark Prosecution and Registration
If it’s worth copying, it’s worth protecting and protection often starts with registration. We recognise that effective protection of our clients’ intellectual property rights means more than just obtaining registration or grant of a patent, industrial design or trade mark. It means understanding our client’s underlying business objectives and learning not only what our client wants but also why. We consider at every stage if we can advance our client’s interests by developing a less costly or more effective protection structure or by using an entirely different approach.

Copyright Protection
Through years of working closely with our clients, our lawyers have a comprehensive and thorough knowledge of the industries in which they work in. These range from music, film, multimedia and the creative arts, content production and broadcasts, book publishing, software, copyright collection societies, performance contracts, event management, production and financing.

Our detailed understanding and knowledge have enabled us to work effectively in the constantly changing landscape of businesses driven by technology and copyright protected assets.

Enforcement
Whether through civil or criminal provisions, we have a stellar reputation in enforcing intellectual property rights on behalf of our clients from a wide array of industries.

Equipped with an intimate knowledge of the intricacies and workings of the law and local enforcement agencies as well as our extensive experience refined through the years and supported by an intelligence network that is exclusive to us, we have been able to build a solid reputation for our ability to effectively strategise, structure and implement actions to enforce our clients’ IP rights, bringing the results desired by our clients while meeting our clients’ cost expectations.
