Intellectual Property - Disputes
Briffa's intellectual property dispute team is extremely well regarded and prides itself on its high success rate. Briffa lawyers are focused on achieving the results you want by employing the full range of tools and forums available, including all manner of alternative dispute resolution as well as court action. Briffa is well-known for defending its client's interests in court and has been involved in several law making cases which effect businesses across a wide spectrum. However Briffa never puts its own interests ahead of yours - we find out what you want to achieve and we come up with a plan to get results for you. We always review the matter thoroughly before we start and fix budgets where possible.
Intellectual property remains the foundation of the firm and one which has allowed the firm to grow into other areas, such as Interactive Media, Entertainment, IT, Advertising and E-commerce. We have effectively built niches within a niche but without ever losing sight of the fact that we are principally an IP team.
All Briffa lawyers have a firm grasp of litigation fundamentals and are able to advise on how to avoid damaging legal disputes from arising.
Our litigation team works closely with leading intellectual property barristers on High Court cases. Members of the team also appear in the High Court, County Court and in the Patent Office and Trade Mark and Design Registry in the United Kingdom.
Briffa works with an established network of niche intellectual property law firms in all other jurisdictions to ensure efficient remedies that help your business. We never allow you to embark on litigation without looking at the risks, costs and benefit..
We are excellent at spotting ways in which to settle disputes in a commercial manner to your advantage. We are experienced in mediation and other formal methods of dispute resolution. We work not only with the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR) but also with many experienced intellectual property mediators including many top intellectual property barristers to deliver results.
Our focus on intellectual property and our experienced litigation team means we are able to act at very short notice where this is vital to success. We obtain injunctions and asset freezing orders at short notice. We know when it is in your interest to take such action and when another route is better. We have conducted many cases successfully before the High Court. In many cases we have recovered substantial compensation and achieved your business objectives.
We have been active in obtaining after the event insurance for businesses that required this. We have successfully structured insurance packages to allow the small business to take on a large multinational keeping the risk as low as possible.
If you have a dispute and want an expert and honest opinion of your options please do get in touch. We can solve disputes in all the areas of work undertaken by Briffa described on this site.
