What our intellectual property lawyers do
DMH Stallard’s intellectual property lawyers are experienced in handling the legal issues relating to the protection, management and infringement of copyright, designs and databases.
The investment you and your employees make in creating assets for you and your business needs to be protected. Whether operating in the creative industries, manufacturing, media or technology sectors, you need to be aware of the various legal rights which enable you to protect your designs, software and databases and other creative assets, including copyright, the associated database rights as well as registered and unregistered design rights.
Our intellectual property solicitors can help you identify those rights (using an audit where appropriate) and then advise as to how best to protect, exploit and enforce them where necessary.
We provide our clients with commercial strategies in relation to claims and also private criminal prosecutions where appropriate.
We also deliver cross-border solutions for clients trading in multiple jurisdictions, using our international legal network, Law Europe International.
