IP Litigation
Disputes can often arise in industries founded on the ownership of intellectual property rights and their exploitation. Our Group of IP litigators are experienced in the enforcement and defence of all forms of IP rights.
Many of our patent litigators have relevant science degrees enabling them to comprehensively understand the technology behind the patent. This, combined with our UK and European patent attorneys, has created a unified patent litigation team that operates at a level beyond that of any other UK law firm. The combined resources, including an in-house barrister, ensure that all possible tactics in litigation can be deployed, such as parallel proceedings before National Courts and the European Patent Office. The trend in patent litigation has been an increase in multi-jurisdiction actions. This trend requires us to co-ordinate with foreign attorneys and to maintain an up-to-date knowledge of local procedures and strategies in foreign jurisdictions.
Our trademark litigators are experts in the enforcement of trademark rights. Our international prosecution knowledge and litigation approach is combined with our considerable experience in the enforcement of other IP and associated rights, including copyright, design rights and breach of trust/confidence actions. We have some of the most experienced copyright litigators, not only in the English courts, but also before the Copyright Tribunal and in cross-border disputes.
