From time to time, IP disputes invariably arise and we are able to provide advice
and representation in such situations. In most cases it is best to try to settle
disputes without resorting to Court action, but in some cases this is not possible.
Even so, there are sometimes alternatives courses of action that can be taken, such
as seeking a non-binding opinion on infringement or validity from the UKIPO, filing
third party observations, opposing patents, and drawing-up licenses & cross-licenses
etc.
We have recently been involved in representing clients (as defendant or claimant)
in a range of contentious matters, including: infringement of a US patent; invalidity
of a European patent; defending a European patent in Opposition proceedings; infringement
of UK Design Right; a patent licensing deal; and passing off.
In helping our client, we have worked with, and acted as agent for, specialist external
IP solicitors, barristers and overseas IP counsel.
If you would like to know how we can help you to bring or defend an IP claim, then
please contact us.
