Intellectual property
We know how to develop and enhance effective, optimised and bespoke strategies for the management of intellectual property rights to enable our high-profile clients to maximise profit from their intellectual assets in the best possible manner. Our well-trained, specialised Intellectual Property team serves international and domestic clients across Emerging Europe, Turkey and Central Asia.
Our IP attorneys regularly counsel clients on a diverse range of issues and actions including copyrights, trademarks, patents and trade secrets; best practice before government agencies to secure those rights; negotiations for licenses, joint ventures, divestitures and similar business transactions to maximise the value of such property; rendering patent, trademark and copyright infringement opinions; securing interim injunctions and litigating to protect intellectual property; and handling arbitration, mediation and other litigation alternatives.
IP issues can require expertise in other areas of law such as M&A, anti-trust, contracts, privacy and litigation. We are adept at handling these types of complex, cross-practice matters in a seamless and coordinated way across all our jurisdictions.
Our work includes:
- copyrights
- trademarks
- patents
- utility models
- industrial designs
- licensing
- transactional support
- domain names
- content regulation
- enforcement of IP rights
- IP portfolio management
Their energy and responsiveness are unique. A very hard working and result oriented team of lawyers.
