Intellectual
Property
Intellectual property is invariably the cornerstone of every
business - whether through unique products or processes, or
through brands.
Indeed, all intellectual property has some value to the business.
Sometimes this value is set out explicitly on the balance sheet,
and at other times it might be less tangible. Either way it
does have a value, and the key objective for Powell Forman Kelly
LLP is to assist the client in realising and exploiting that
value.
The Powell Forman Kelly intellectual property team has substantial
expertise across the range of IP protection, IP exploitation
and IP litigation. It acts for manufacturers, pharmaceutical
companies, Government departments, service industry, ICT companies
and media organisations (including multi-media). Areas of work
include:
- Patents
- Trade Marks
- Design Rights
- Passing Off
- Copyright
- Data Protection
- Defamation
- Confidential Information
- Computer Law
- European Community Law
The team's advice in these areas includes drafting, preparation
and filing of IP applications; assignments and licence agreements;
corporate advice on exploitation; litigation (including pre-action,
injunctions, infringement, revocation and non-use actions);
IP portfolio management; and IP audits. |
