IP & IT

IP comprises a broad and increasing range of assets including the formal categories of patents, trademarks, registered designs, copyright, circuit layouts and plant breeder’s rights to the broader areas of domain names, business names, confidential information, trade secrets and know-how.

Closely related to IP is information technology, especially in internet-based environments that impact virtually every business. It is a broad description that encompasses many constantly developing and highly diverse industries.

Our team is highly experienced in advising on IP and IT law and practice, including the implications of technology on operations, strategy and future goals. We advise businesses from start-ups and mature stage innovators to established corporate entities on how to identify, protect, defend, manage and maximise the commercial potential of their IP and IT assets.
