Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property (IP) is a valuable component of any business. IP covers trade marks, patents, designs, copyright, trade secrets, even the know-how developed by your company and the “get-up”, or trade dress, of your store or products.

Ensuring that you or your company has a strong IP strategy can add value to your business and prevent or mitigate problems in the long term.
