Our Clients

From the travel industry to the media, property to publishing and manufacturing to internet service providers, our intellectual property solicitors have an impressive track record for clients across an array of industry sectors.

Protecting Intellectual Property

Brands, slogans, designs, inventions, music and software, just some of the assets which our intellectual property solicitors can help protect. The first step to this is often registration, whether of trademarks, patents or designs. We have extensive experience of dealing with everything from single UK-wide registrations to complex multinational ones.

In instances where registration is not appropriate or possible, our intellectual property solicitors offer effective solutions to help our clients secure their rights, such as comprehensive confidentiality agreements and anti-piracy measures.

Commercialising IP Rights

Monetising inventions and marketing brands, licensing know-how, concluding franchising and joint ventures, our intellectual property solicitors allow clients to capitalise on the value of their rights.

Securing IP

Our intellectual property solicitors facilitate a range of IP transactions, including buying and selling of rights, all with a focus on our clients’ interests.

Enforcing IP Rights

Gillhams Lawyers are on hand to prevent infringements of our clients′ rights, providing pre-emptive advice, detecting any claims and pursing action where required. Working with our London litigation team, our intellectual property solicitors can help enforce rights in various ways, including by alternate dispute resolution methods and in court.

Management of Intellectual Property

As full-service intellectual property solicitors, we provide our clients with the legal tools and ongoing support they need to manage their IP rights including areas such as structuring corporate entities to safeguarding IP and joint ventures, anti-piracy and contractual compliance.

Intellectual Property Audits

Combining legal expertise with a commercial approach, our intellectual property solicitors help businesses analyse their ownership of intellectual property, identify their IP assets and earmark those assets for future use. This allows our clients to safeguard the value of these assets, account for them on balance sheets and focus attention on assets that are available for raising finance, licensing or sale.
