INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY FOR ELECTRONICS AND COMPUTING

Our patent and trade mark attorneys and IP solicitors are electronics, computing and communications specialists

For innovators in electronics, computing, and communications, these are unprecedented times. Our experience shows there is an increased need for flexible, efficient, and broad-ranging IT support. The systems we rely on must be ever more collaborative, powerful and adaptive to help us communicate more quickly and easily.

This extraordinary rate of digital transformation shows no signs of slowing.

We’re seeing huge strides in cloud and multi-cloud technology, edge computing and quantum computing. The appeal and application of blockchain, AI and machine learning only continues to rise.

Meanwhile, despite positive indications that a return to normality is on its way, telecoms, video communications, user interfaces and increased connectivity between a wider range of devices - the Internet of Things (IoT) - still have a huge part to play in our recovery.

However, as the level of innovation required to develop these technologies increases, so does the competition - and, by extension, the likelihood your inventions and ideas could be misused or misappropriated.

That’s where we come in.

HOW CAN OUR PATENT ATTORNEYS HELP YOU PROTECT AND COMMERCIALISE YOUR ELECTRONICS, COMPUTING AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY?

Whether you’re an established corporation, a fast-growing SME or a young and ambitious company looking to make waves, our specialist multi-disciplinary electronics, computing and communications team includes patent attorneys, trade mark attorneys and IP solicitors with the specific experience needed to navigate the complex world of intellectual property (IP) rights.

We’ll ensure your most valuable assets are not only fully protected, but also managed in a way that allows you to achieve the highest level of commercial value.

• Advise you on using your IP rights in the most strategic way
• Register your patents, trade marks and designs throughout the world
• Identify and protect your trade secrets with robust processes
• Provide patent, trade mark and design infringement and validity opinions
• Conduct patent and trade mark searches and watches
• Defend your IP rights if you are attacked via patent office or court proceedings
• Enforce your rights against competitor infringement
• Draft the commercial and licensing agreements you need to support your growth
• Provide a wider commercial perspective you can use to build your business

WHY ASK US TO HELP YOU MAXIMISE THE VALUE OF YOUR IP?

We believe there are three compelling reasons to work with our specialist electronics, computing, and communications team:

1. Our proven expertise

We don’t only offer the required technical expertise; we have extensive experience of working with a long and varied list of clients involved in the full range of electronics, software, IT, and communications industries.

This means you’ll receive the very best advice, tailored to the specific nuances and demands of your business and market.

2. Our strategic application

The most important thing for our clients is how we apply our experience and expertise to the issue at hand.

The wealth of sector experience we’ve accumulated over the years allows us to consider the issues you face from both an IP and a business perspective. As a result, we can provide the strategic and commercial direction you need and find the most effective way to achieve your objectives.

3. A broader range of support

We offer much more than standard patent and trade mark services, so you can easily access any legal advice you need in one place.

In addition to drafting, prosecuting, and defending/opposing patents, our in-house solicitors will provide wider legal advice. They’ll help you negotiate and draft the commercial and licencing agreements you need to underpin your IP strategy. They’ll also enforce your IP rights if they are challenged.

Our trade mark team will protect and enforce your brand against unwelcome or unlawful attention from your competitors.

Our innovative suite of fixed-price products makes leveraging the highest levels of value from your IP easier, quicker and more straightforward.
