We advise clients on the protection, registration, licensing, assignment, commercialisation and enforcement of intellectual property rights, as well as disputes arising from their use or protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our practice covers <strong>trademarks, copyright, patents, industrial designs, geographical indications, trade secrets and domain names<\/strong>. We assist clients in structuring the ownership and commercial use of these rights and in incorporating appropriate intellectual-property protections into wider commercial arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We advise on industrial designs, including registration, ownership, licensing, assignment, enforcement and disputes concerning the unauthorised use or imitation of protected designs. Our practice also includes geographical indications (GIs), covering their protection, registration, use and enforcement, together with the related rights and interests of authorised users and other stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Intellectual property issues often arise within broader licensing, franchise, technology, distribution and manufacturing arrangements. We advise on these contractual aspects and represent clients in disputes and litigation where intellectual-property rights or related commercial interests are challenged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our practice combines intellectual-property protection with commercial and dispute-resolution advice, enabling clients to address their rights from creation and registration through commercialisation, enforcement and litigation.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<section style=\"background:#f6f3ed;padding:72px 0\"><div style=\"max-width:1180px;margin:0 auto;padding-left:20px;padding-right:20px;box-sizing:border-box\"><div style=\"display:grid;grid-template-columns:repeat(auto-fit,minmax(320px,1fr));gap:48px;align-items:start\"><div><div style=\"max-width:760px\"><p style=\"font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif;color:#b48a3c;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.22em;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 14px\">Discuss a matter<\/p><h2 style=\"font-family:Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif;font-weight:400;color:#0f1f38;font-size:clamp(26px,3.2vw,38px);line-height:1.2;margin:0\">Speak to us about Intellectual Property Law<\/h2><div style=\"width:56px;height:2px;background:#b48a3c;margin:18px 0 22px\"><\/div><\/div><p style=\"font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif;color:#5b6270;font-size:16px;line-height:1.8;margin:0 0 16px\">Share a brief outline of your matter and a member of the team will respond.<\/p><div style=\"margin-top:8px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/internationaltradelaw.org\/new\/contact\/\" style=\"background:#b48a3c;color:#fff;border:1px solid #b48a3c;display:inline-block;padding:13px 26px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;font-weight:600;letter-spacing:.12em;text-transform:uppercase;text-decoration:none\">Contact us&nbsp;&rarr;<\/a><\/div><\/div><div><p style=\"font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif;color:#b48a3c;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.22em;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 14px\">Related practice areas<\/p><div style=\"display:grid;gap:10px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/internationaltradelaw.org\/new\/practice-areas\/international-commercial-agreements\/\" style=\"display:flex;gap:12px;align-items:center;text-decoration:none;background:#fff;border:1px solid #e4ded2;padding:14px\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"#b48a3c\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"display:block\"><path d=\"M7 3h7l5 5v13H7z\"\/><path d=\"M14 3v5h5\"\/><path d=\"M10 13h6\"\/><path d=\"M10 17h4\"\/><\/svg><span style=\"font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif;color:#0f1f38;font-size:14px\">International Commercial Agreements &amp;
