There is an increasing recognition that, for many organisations, intellectual property rights are critical to both the operation and value of the organisation. Each form of IP right has its own peculiarities; our objective is to help guide clients through the IP maze.
Ascertaining ownership of and managing IP rights are potentially complex processes which may involve formal registration or renewal, analysis of commercial agreements and untangling jointly owned rights. The team at Bevan Brittan has worked with clients across the spectrum of ownership issues – from jointly developed software to unregistered trade marks and database rights.
