What We Do
We help startups, creatives, product-based businesses, and service providers protect their intellectual property from day one:
- Trademark Searches – basic and advanced clearance searches to identify potential conflicts and infringement risks before applying.
- Trademark Registration – preparation and filing of UK trademark applications, including advice on registrability and managing objections or oppositions.
- Copyright Protection – identifying which materials are protected by copyright and what steps to take if those rights are infringed.
- Design Rights & Patents – guidance on eligibility for registered or unregistered protection, with support preparing design rights or patent applications.
- Infringement & Enforcement – drafting cease and desist letters, assessing breaches, and advising on enforcement options.
- Confidentiality & NDAs – drafting tailored non-disclosure agreements and helping put internal protections in place for sensitive business information.
Support is also available for mapping out your IP across the business — especially useful if you’re not sure what’s protected or what needs registering.
What You Might Want to Protect
Every business has intellectual property. Some of the most common include:
- Business names and logos – often eligible for trademark protection
- Original content – such as written material, images, video, websites, or training resources (automatically protected by copyright)
- Product or digital designs – including packaging, interfaces, and layouts (covered by registered or unregistered design rights)
- Processes, systems, or formulas – which may need protecting through NDAs or internal controls
If you’re unsure what qualifies as IP or how to protect it, we can carry out a simple audit and help you put the right protections in place.
