Intellectual property disputes

Our team of specialist intellectual property litigators deal with all types of intellectual property dispute including those involving patents, trademarks, designs, copyright or confidential information. We have experience across all forms of dispute resolution, from patent litigation in the High Court and international arbitration, through to claims brought in the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court and disputes before the Intellectual Property Office and the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market.

We bring and defend intellectual property enforcement actions on behalf of our clients. These range from technology start-ups though to international businesses with global patent, design and brand portfolios.

We also regularly advise our clients on strategic intellectual property issues, avoidance of disputes and defence of threatened intellectual property claims. We have particular experience acting for clients in the retail and consumer goods, technology and financial services sectors.
