We offer a comprehensive service that extends to both securing IP rights (such as patents, trade mark, and design registrations) and advising on their exploitation and enforcement. Alongside this, we provide proactive support functions that help our clients keep track of their IP, stay on top of its maintenance, and stay in control of costs.
