OUR APPROACH

Know what you own and how it is used.

A business may rely on its name, designs, content, software, or know-how without having a clear record of ownership. We help identify the intellectual property relevant to your operations and consider how it is created, protected, and shared.

Support can include reviewing ownership clauses, preparing licences, considering brand protection, and addressing concerns about unauthorised use. Where specialist registration work is needed, the appropriate scope and professional support are identified.

A practical plan for valuable ideas.

We map the assets and agreements involved, clarify your intended use, and identify gaps in the existing arrangements. The resulting advice prioritises practical steps for ownership, permission, and ongoing management.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before we begin.

What kinds of intellectual property can a business have?

+

Names, creative work, designs, software, inventions, and confidential know-how may involve different rights. The protection available depends on the asset and the relevant jurisdiction.

Does paying for creative work transfer ownership?

+

Ownership depends on applicable law and the agreement with the creator. Reviewing the written terms helps establish what rights have been transferred or licensed.

Can you help with a licensing arrangement?

+

A licence can define permitted uses, territory, duration, payment, and restrictions. The terms should reflect the intended commercial relationship and the rights available.

What should I prepare for an IP review?

+

An asset list, creator agreements, existing registrations, licences, and examples of how the assets are used provide a useful starting point.

What if another business is using similar branding?

+

An adviser would first review the branding, the rights held, the relevant markets, and the available evidence. The appropriate response depends on that assessment.
