Although in many countries computer software and pure methods of doing business cannot be protected, we can advise on alternative methods of protection. In some countries, such as the United States, the regulations are different, and again we can advise on the best form of protection, working with local firms who have particular expertise in the area. It is also important to protect the brand name under which any product is marketed, as well as checking whether the chosen name is actually free to use and we can advise in these areas.
We can also assist business and financial advisors in carrying out due diligence reports into Intellectual Property holdings. IP is an asset and potentially a very valuable asset that may represent a considerable proportion of the assets of a company. Due diligence is, therefore, an important part of any business transaction that involves the acquisition, financing, licensing or investment in a company that maintains an IP portfolio. It is vitally important to correctly evaluate the worth of any holding, and we can bring to the table our expertise in the IP arena to ensure that the rights are robust.
We work in a team structure, with offices throughout the UK. Our teams have a blend of experience, and will be able to assist in gaining the best protection for your products and carrying out any due diligence investigation. We have worked with a number of providers in the business and financial sectors, including major banks, accountants and business advisory firms. We take pride in being very much client focused in our approach.
