Intellectual property
At the historical heart of Calvert Solicitors lies its Intellectual Property department. Since the firm’s inception, we have acted for numerous household names, corporations and established artists in developing their businesses and careers through intelligent and efficient IP solutions. We have long recognised the commercial importance of correctly exploiting the key assets of any business and our IP advice is given with client objectives and industry currents in mind.
Our IP advice covers the full spectrum of IP rights, including copyright, design rights, trade marks, patents and passing off actions. We are familiar with the intricacies of a wide range of industries with a particular awareness of the nuances of the media and entertainment field. The team is experienced in defending and pursuing IP rights in the unfortunate event of infringement. Where resolution proves unattainable, our court experience has placed us at the cutting edge of current legal debate.
We are adept in advising how best to protect these assets and commercially exploit them. We offer IP audits and due diligence so that you can better understand the potential value of your IP in tune with your budget and expectations. We can advise on suitable vehicles for exploitation of your IP, ranging from licences and assignments to distribution and agency arrangements. We are experienced in the registration of trade marks, designs and patents at the UK and Community Registries.
