Intellectual property

Cutting edge technology or powerful brand, more companies are finding their value resides in intellectual property rather than physical assets. After early involvement with the Cambridge Phenomenon, we've advised on intellectual property issues for clients in all sectors, from entertainment and media to branded goods, manufacturing, bioscience, nanotechnology and information and communications technology.

Our intellectual property team will help you identify assets which may qualify for protection and set a suitable strategy to protect and exploit them.

We've close links with many patent and trademark agents, so we can refer you to one in the appropriate technical field. We'll help you secure rights to your intellectual property and draft and negotiate all types of relevant contracts.

We won't let you be outgunned by large multinationals. Our experienced negotiators, many with City or industry backgrounds, will help you achieve the best deal possible and punch above your weight.

Our team advises on:

• Securing all necessary rights to the intellectual property which they own and use
• Protecting trade secrets through security procedures and water-tight confidentiality agreements
• Appropriate branding strategies Intellectual property contracts, such as evaluation agreements, contract manufacturing agreements, research and development agreements, collaboration agreements and licences
• Various funding schemes for intellectual property collaborations, including FP7 projects
