Intellectual Property, Media & Technology

Protection, licensing and disputes around brands, content and technology, and the contracts that sit behind them.

Intellectual Property, Media & Technology

Scope of practice

We help businesses protect and exploit their intellectual property — trademarks, brands, software, designs and content — and address the contracts and disputes that surround them. Registering a company name does not protect a brand; we look at trademark and domain protection before a product launch or a significant marketing investment, not after a problem arises.

We help clients identify what they own, secure it in the right jurisdictions, and put the licences and assignments in place so that ownership does not quietly leak away through employees, contractors, agencies or partners — and we act to stop the use and recover position when rights are infringed.

Typical matters

  • Trademark protection and registration
  • Licensing and distribution of IP
  • Technology and software contracts
  • Ownership of employee- and contractor-created IP
  • Brand protection and infringement
  • Media, content and digital matters

How we assist

We treat intellectual property as a commercial asset to be secured early and used deliberately, and we make sure the contracts around it clearly allocate ownership, permitted use and the consequences of termination.
