Intellectual Property
Intellectual Property (IP) is a real commercial issue for many businesses, not just a vague concept.
Your organisation’s most valuable assets are not necessarily physical - for example they could be your brand, ideas, know-how, innovation, or research and development. It is important that these are protected from potential competitors so that only you can exploit them. In order to do this you need the advice of a specialist lawyer to ensure legal recognition and enforcement of the ownership of your intellectual property rights. Whether this recognition is afforded by means of patents, copyrights, trade marks or similar means, the specialist IP team at Neil Myerson can help. Their expertise covers such areas as:
- Advice on copyright, trade marks, design rights, database rights, patents and other intellectual property
- Assignment and licensing of intellectual property rights
- Taking security over intellectual property rights
- Copyright notices for publications, software and websites
- Domain name transfers and disputes
- Development and exploitation agreements
- Joint IP ownership and development agreements
- Re-organisation of group companies to “ring fence” IP rights
- Confidentiality agreements
- Celebrity endorsement agreements
- Event sponsorship agreements
- Franchise agreements
- Liaison with patent and trade mark agents to obtain registered trade marks, patents and design rights
