Intellectual property is at the forefront of technology, which means that IP disputes are often at the cutting-edge of legal developments. Our litigators are experienced in dealing with contemporary and complex legal issues through the courts, intellectual property offices and arbitration.
We handle disputes in all forms of intellectual property, whether through alternative dispute resolution, litigation in the national courts or the opposition of patents and trademarks in the relevant community or national offices. We cover a diverse range of issues, from breach of confidence, ownership, licensing and warranty disputes to copyright, patent and trademark infringement, opposition proceedings and revocation and invalidity actions.
In particular Patent Infringement Proceedings are complex and require professional advice.
IP is never simply a domestic concern. Every IP strategy needs to take account of the major global markets. Our international network means you have access to high-quality legal advice wherever your rights are at stake. Our European teams have particular expertise in this area, with many years' experience of handling disputes, whether national or in parallel across a number of jurisdictions.
