Intellectual Property Rights Services
Intellectual property rights are often a substantial portion of the company’s assets, and they must be managed as an essential part of the company’s strategy.
Our experienced experts will help you understand the importance of intellectual property rights in your company and even increase the value of your intangible assets.
For many companies, intellectual property can be their most valuable asset, and in any case, it holds at least some significance for virtually all businesses. However, the importance of protecting or commercially leveraging these rights often gets overshadowed by other business matters. We can help you identify what intellectual property rights your company has or should have, as well as how to commercially or otherwise utilise them and ensure they are properly protected.
Every day, we help our clients protect, monitor, defend, manage, and commercialise their intellectual property rights, ensuring the value of their intangible assets increases.
From commercialisation to international expansion, safely
Our IPR and technology experts support you throughout the lifecycle of intellectual property rights, from startups to the commercialisation and internationalisation of new technologies, products, and concepts. Our experts also have business experience, allowing them to combine legal expertise with business-oriented thinking. They use this knowledge and experience to benefit clients in every assignment. We speak your language and communicate in a way that is easy to understand.
We have extensive experience and in-depth knowledge in areas such as intellectual property audits and strategy development. We handle the drafting and negotiation of IPR-related agreements with professional expertise, whether it’s licensing agreements or other industry-specific contracts. Our broad experience across various industries ensures effective and successful contract negotiations.
Protect, attack, defence
Intellectual property cannot be effectively utilised, nor can others be prevented from exploiting it, unless it is properly protected. Without protection, there are no rights. We can provide a cost-effective plan and, if needed, implementation to protect your intangible assets. Sometimes, protected rights are infringed upon, i.e. exploited unlawfully. We offer the tools to defend against such attacks.
