What is intellectual property?

Intellectual property, or IP as it is often called, is something created using your mind. For example, a story, an invention, a piece of art or a logo.

What are intellectual property rights?

Intellectual property rights, or IPR, are the protection given to protect creations of the mind (ie. the IP), and include trade marks, copyright, patents, design rights and trade secrets / confidential information. For example, photos are protected by copyright whilst a business’ logo may constitute a trade mark. IP rights usually give the creator or other owner an exclusive right to use the creation for a specific amount of time.

What is IP infringement?

Infringement of intellectual property will occur when IP rights are copied, used or otherwise exploited without the permission or consent of the person who owns the intellectual property rights. For example, if someone uses another business’ name or logo on products without the owner’s consent, this is likely to constitute an IP infringement.

How we can help

We specialise in all areas of intellectual property law, including trade marks, copyrights, designs, patents, and confidential information.

Whether you are a start-up, an established business, or an individual creator, identifying and protecting your IP is essential to safeguard your competitive edge, generate revenue and build a strong brand identity.
