What is Intellectual Property?

Intellectual property rights are legal protections for creations of the mind, including artistic, literary and musical works, designs, inventions, and business assets, like brand names and logos.

Common forms of intellectual property legal protections include:

IP lawyers help individuals and businesses properly register, protect, and manage their IP assets through various non-contentious (e.g. registering a right) and contentious (e.g. fighting an infringement) work. This is vital for ensuring owners of IP maximise the commercial value of their work.

“I was recommended to contact Briffa and found them to be excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending them.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How are your fees structured?

Before any fees, we’ll first schedule a consultation to listen and learn more about your situation. The session is free, and there are no obligations to engage our services afterwards. As part of the consultation, we’ll lean on our 25+ years of experience as an IP law firm to suggest the best solution for you or your business.

We’ll be completely transparent about your legal standpoint, what needs doing to achieve your desired outcome, and how long it might take. At this point, we’ll provide a fixed-fee quote for our work.

We’ve found our fixed-fee approach works well for many businesses and individuals, including those with more modest resources, so please do get in touch.

What can you help me with?

We can help you protect or monetise your intellectual property, fight any infringements, defend claims against you, and far more. This falls across a range of types of intellectual property, from branding to designs to confidential information. We can help you:

  • Identify all of your IP assets and find the best means of protecting them
  • Develop a strategy for protecting your IP in the UK and worldwide
  • Protect your brand, designs, creative works, confidential information, and inventions
  • Monetise your IP through licensing or transferring ownership
  • Acquire the rights to the IP of other companies and individuals
  • Investigate and resolve infringements, whether you’re bringing forward a claim or defending one
  • If necessary, support you through court proceedings

What should I do if someone is infringing my intellectual property rights?

If you believe someone is infringing your IP rights, you should collect as much evidence as you can. Good examples of evidence include screenshots, website links, and photos. In short, anything that captures and demonstrates the infringement. Next, you should speak to a solicitor, who can advise whether you have grounds for a complaint and what steps to take next.
