02 - what we do

Scope of work

Intellectual property often becomes valuable before a business has a formal plan for protecting it. We help clients identify what they own, secure the right registrations, structure licenses and act quickly when rights are copied or challenged. Advice is practical, proportionate and tied to the commercial value of the asset.

/01

Trademark clearance & filing

Searches, risk assessment, applications and office actions.

/02

Copyright protection

Ownership reviews, registrations and infringement advice.

/03

Licensing & assignments

Commercial terms for software, content, brands and know-how.

/04

Portfolio management

Renewals, ownership records and brand expansion planning.

/05

Enforcement & defense

Cease-and-desist strategy, negotiation and litigation.

/06

IP due diligence

Ownership and risk reviews for investment or acquisition.

03 - Typical Matters

Three things we were asked last quarter.

CASE 01

A product name was already in use

We mapped the conflict, negotiated a coexistence route and filed a revised brand without delaying launch.

CASE 02

A former contractor claimed ownership

The project records and assignment language resolved the claim before proceedings were issued.

CASE 03

A competitor copied a campaign

A focused notice and evidence package secured removal and a commercial settlement.
