Intellectual Property
In a progressively connected and globalised world, and as we move further towards service and knowledge economies, defending intellectual property is becoming increasingly important and complex, whether through management liability, D&O or IP specific policies.
How we can help
We have assisted clients with defending ownership of their assets using patents, copyrights, trade marks, licensing agreements, and more. Our experience extends to the protection of confidential information, trade secrets, data protection, compliance and privacy. We also have experience defending clients who have had copyright infringement claims brought against them.
We provide advice and representation to a variety of Australian and international companies, across a range of sectors, in the following areas:
- Development, protection and management of brand
- Domain names
- Design licensing and enforcement
- Patent licensing and enforcement
- Licensing
- Copyright
- Trade marks
- Trade practices
- Agreements, and
- Litigation for enforcement and defence.
Our lawyers also have a thorough awareness of developments in the cyber liability space and in relation to data privacy and protection. We are intimately aware of the vectors underpinning business interruption, intellectual property theft and cyber-extortion claims.
Our team works and represents clients in a range of jurisdictions, including domestically in the Federal Circuit Court of Australia, Sydney Division. We have also acted and advised on matters in a range of international jurisdictions, including litigated copyright infringement proceedings in California.
