Patents

Freedom to operate – we conduct thorough searches and analyses to give you the information for ensuring your commercial activities do not infringe on existing patents, minimising the risk of litigation.

Patent audits and due diligence – this is all about evaluating the intellectual property assets of a business. We use our expertise to determine the scope, validity, enforceability, and overall value of the patent portfolio in question.

Patent landscaping – we help clients understand the patent environment in their field, identify opportunities for innovation, and recognise potential barriers to market entry.

Transactions and recordals – much like physical property, intellectual property can be bought, sold, or licensed. Our role is to ensure that your IP transactions are properly managed and recorded, whatever the jurisdiction, ensuring your rights are valid and enforceable.
