What are intellectual property rights?

Intellectual property rights are legal protections for creations of the mind, including artistic, literary and musical works, designs, inventions, and business assets, like brand names and logos. There are several types of rights, such as trade marks, copyright, and patents. A rights owner can use their IP as they wish, and they’re protected against others using their IP without permission.

What does an IP Advisor do?*

IP advisors help individuals and businesses properly register, protect, and manage their IP assets through various non-contentious (e.g. registering a right) and contentious (e.g. fighting an infringement) work. This is vital for ensuring owners of IP maximise the commercial value of their work.

How are your fees structured?

We can provide the majority of our services on a fixed fee basis. Our advisors will scope out the nature of the work required and provide you with a fixed fee quote to tackle the next steps.

What should I do if someone is infringing my intellectual property rights?

If someone is infringing your intellectual property rights, you should collect as much evidence as you can. For example, screenshots, website links, and photos. Next, you should speak to an advisor, who can advise whether you have grounds for a complaint and what steps to take next.
