Intellectual property licensing

Businesses, research organisations, innovators, and creators look to our intellectual property (IP) lawyers to protect their ideas and maximise their value

Our corporate team use decades of experience in IP law to help businesses and creators protect assets and ideas, launch successful enterprises, and drive revenues. Our IP advice can also help you raise investment or exit a business easily and profitably.

Our IP clients range from gamers to technology spin-outs, and from start-up companies to major research universities. For every client, we mix legal knowledge with strong commercial awareness to back their ambitions.

How we will help

First of all, we’ll listen to what you do and what you want to achieve. Then we’ll advise you on the IP protection needed and the steps you’ll need to follow to do this. This could include:

• Commercialisation of IP
• Protection against infringements
• Drafting and negotiating commercialisation agreements
• Licensing copyright and designs
• Licensing patents
• Media communications and agreements (including publishing)
• Preparing E-commerce and internet agreements
• Dealing with contentious IP matters.

Through this advice, you’ll be well placed to show investors, competitors and others that your IP is fully protected—and that you’re not infringing anyone else’s.

If you’re starting a business or looking to commercialise your ideas, it’s never too early to think about this.
