About us
Intellectual Property (IP) is the linchpin propelling innovation and ideas forward. We work to maximize and protect the value of your IP and represent you in legal proceedings where needed, all the while ensuring your business can continue to grow and develop. Your business benefits from our deep trial experience in all IP areas concerning patents, copyrights, trademarks, unfair competition and trade secrets, transactions, and arbitration. Given the inherently global nature of intellectual property issues, we can provide you with transatlantic support, coordinating on matters seamlessly across jurisdictions and across the full IP spectrum. We have significant experience devising (and helping our clients to implement) global IP strategies, having advised clients on such matters across key industry sectors, including Entertainment & Media, Energy & Natural Resources, Financial Services, Life Sciences, and Transportation, among others. We are also experienced in advising clients on how best to prioritize their IP objectives, ensuring that they can achieve optimal outcomes based on their available budget. Our advice encompasses advising on how to mitigate IP risk and whether, in any instance, the best strategy is to pursue registered IP rights (e.g. patents and registered trademarks) or to rely on unregistered rights (e.g. trade secrets and unregistered trademarks). This is a complex, nuanced and context-specific area, which requires a joined-up approach. That’s where we step in.

IP Myth: Once a patent is filed, the idea is protected indefinitely This is false. In the United States, a utility patent is usually granted for a period of 20 years starting from the date of filing the patent application. However, to maintain the patent's enforceability throughout its term, regular fees must be paid. #IPMythsDebunked #IPLaw #IPFacts #IntellectualProperty 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 “𝘐𝘗 𝘔𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘴 𝘋𝘦𝘣𝘶𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘥” 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘨𝘯.

IP Myth: Only logos can be trademarked This is false. Trademark protection sometimes goes beyond merely words, symbols, and phrases, covering additional aspects of a product such as its color or packaging in some scenarios. #IPMythsDebunked #IPLaw #IPFacts #IntellectualProperty 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 “𝘐𝘗 𝘔𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘴 𝘋𝘦𝘣𝘶𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘥” 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘨𝘯.
