Our specialist patent lawyers can help you protect, commercialise and enforce your intellectual property rights.

A patent is a right protecting an invention. It protects against another person or business deliberately copying your invention, as well as against someone developing something similar without being aware of your patent.

We have a proven track record of helping individuals and businesses with a range of patent issues – from buying and selling, to patent infringement disputes.

What Patent Services Do We Offer?

There are three main areas where our patent lawyers can help you:

  1. Prosecutions (the process applying for a patent) – we can put you in touch with a patent attorney to protect your rights
  2. Commercialisation – we can help you buy, sell, licence or commercialise your patent (for both pending and granted applications)
  3. Disputes, litigation and enforcement – we can help you enforce your rights if your patent has been copied, or used without your permission. We can also help in cases where the ownership of a patent is in dispute.
