Intellectual Property Disputes

When intellectual property rights are infringed – or your business faces claims from others – our contentious IP team will act quickly and decisively to protect your position, domestically or abroad. We have extensive experience in UK IP litigation, dispute resolution and enforcement, representing clients in the High Court, the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court, and before the UK Intellectual Property Office. We also regularly manage disputes for clients in overseas jurisdictions, including the European Union Intellectual Property Office and foreign courts and IP registries, where we use the services of carefully selected local counsel.

Our work covers the full range of intellectual property disputes and infringement claims. We regularly advise on trade mark infringement disputes, passing off actions, design disputes, copyright and database right infringements, as well as privacy and data protection issues, misuse of confidential information, and domain and company name conflicts.

Combining legal expertise with an understanding of the sectors our clients work in, our team delivers clear, commercially focused strategies aimed at securing the best possible outcome whilst protecting the value of your IP assets and minimising your financial exposure.
