Intellectual Property Disputes

Are you concerned that someone is using your intellectual property—such as your designs, inventions, or trademarks—without your consent? We can advise you on the best course of action to take to both safeguard your IP and where possible avoid costly and time-consuming litigation.

If your business has been accused of infringing another organisation’s IP rights, we can also provide the support you need to address these claims.

We handle all types of IP disputes, including;

Trademark Infringement: When another business is using your registered trademark, or a mark that is confusingly similar to it.

Breach of Copyright: This happens when someone uses your creative work, like writing or images, without your permission.

Passing Off: When competitors use your brand’s name, symbol, or logo to sell similar products, attempting to deceive consumers.

Patent Infringement: When others make or sell products using your patented invention without your approval.

Database Rights: this is similar to a copyright claim, but is where a person extracts or re-utilises all or a substantial part of the contents of the database without the owner’s permission.

Intellectual property disputes are not just a headache—they can also cost your business dearly. Without robust protection, you risk financial setbacks, damage to your reputation, and a decline in asset value. Proactively securing your company’s IP is crucial. It not only minimises the risk of infringement but also boosts the overall value of your assets.
