Designs
Design is at the heart of innovation – and robust legal protection for design rights is vital for design-led businesses across all sectors.
Our top-ranked IP team has a dedicated Design Law Group focusing on the protection and commercialisation of designs in the UK and abroad. We offer support across the full lifecycle of designs, from initial product clearance to filing strategy, design portfolio management, tackling counterfeit and copycat products, advising on exploitation and licensing opportunities, and working with customs authorities to stop infringing imports from entering the UK market. We can help maintain and grow the value of your design portfolio while protecting your business from those who seek to trade off your design innovation and success.
We help businesses of all sizes navigate the complex UK legal framework of designs and to devise pragmatic and cost-effective protection strategies, avoiding the loss of valuable design rights as a result of Brexit. We are acutely aware of the challenges facing design businesses operating across the UK/EU border, and we closely monitor this evolving legal landscape to ensure our advice is practical, forward looking and future-proof.
Our Design Law Group includes members of our market-leading trade mark, patent, copyright and IP litigation teams. Through this combined experience, we offer a full suite of IP expertise to support your product development and enforcement strategies. What set us apart is not only the range, depth and quality of knowledge and experience, but also our ability and determination to understand your business and the key commercial drivers surrounding your products and brands.
