Barlow Robbins’ team of Surrey based intellectual property [IP] lawyers will guide and advise you about acquiring, protecting, exploiting and enforcing intellectual property rights. The expertise of our IP lawyers comes from years of experience working with companies and individuals in disciplines including technology, fashion, media and the sporting world. We recognise and understand the practical issues and provide realistic commercial solutions which add value to our clients’ intellectual property rights.
Intellectual Property Rights
Intellectual property is a fast moving area of law and will affect a business regardless of its size or specialism. Whether registered or unregistered, intellectual property will exist in virtually every conceivable original brand name, website, product, process and documentation.
The intellectual property rights of a business can often be just as valuable as more traditional assets such as tangible property and stock and therefore deserve careful attention and consideration in order to maximise their potential and protect them against others taking unfair advantage.
Regrettably, we often see clients seeking advice on their intellectual property rights when they encounter a problem but pre-emptive action is key to protection and exploitation of these valuable rights. Our team of specialist IP lawyers are experts in advising businesses on the best ways in which to commercialise, exploit, protect and enforce intellectual property rights.
