Intellectual property

Effectively managing IP rights is crucial, particularly in industries which demand substantial investment in research and development. But in an increasingly global marketplace, safeguarding your intellectual property can present a major challenge. Our experienced team can help you ensure that your interests and assets are as well protected as possible.

We work closely with our clients, and recognise the importance of utilising the best technical expertise to handle highly complex IP issues. In fact, we are particularly well known for our work within technically advanced areas such as the pharmaceutical, biotech and energy industries. Recent highlights include representing:

• AstraZeneca in cases concerning esomeprazole (Nexium®),
• Pfizer Inc. in litigation concerning sildenafil (Viagra®),
• Novartis in litigation concerning valsartan (Diovan®),
• Sanofi concerning irbesartan (Aprovel®),
• Seadrill against Transocean and Heerema in cases concerning drilling technology
• Nets in litigation concerning digital authentication technology.

Whether you need help with patent disputes or any other aspect of IP, we can help.
