Intellectual Property Articles and News
Your intellectual property, or the intellectual property of your business, is a very valuable asset. When your intellectual property rights are infringed, for example if someone copies your original creative work, or uses a registered mark that you own, or if they pretend that they are you in order to divert business to themselves, you could have a claim for damages and an injunction. It is important to act quickly if you want to bring a claim for a breach of your intellectual property rights, to stop the harm escalating. If you need to bring a claim, we can advise you about the first steps you need to take, what the likely costs will be, and what you can expect in terms of the level of damages you will be awarded. We have dedicated solicitors and a network of access to experts who can assist with this complex area of law.
