Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property (IP) includes copyrights, patents, trademarks, trade secrets and other legal protection of innovative ideas, creations and inventions. We understand better than anyone else that these rights are not only valuable, but can also be an engine for growth and competitive advantage.

Your challenges

In a creative business, you may face a wide range of IP law issues:

  • How do you protect your work, your brand, your trade name and your products?
  • How do you ensure proper (recording) agreements for the exploitation of your creative work, your brand and the distribution of your products?
  • How do you prevent unauthorised access to, use of or disclosure of trade secrets or confidential information that is essential to a business and whose disclosure could cause harm?

Whether it is registering a unique trademark, securing your inventions with patents or protecting your creative work by enforcing your copyrights: your Intellectual Property challenges are our concern. In a world where ideas are evolving rapidly, it is necessary to act proactively and assertively to safeguard your interests.
