Intellectual property rights in the technology sector
Europe is currently seeing substantial changes in relation to software patenting and the protection of business models. Modern copyright law is increasingly turning the spotlight on software and database protection, and there is a growing differentiation of the particularities of these specific media on the Internet and in telecommunications.
In this changing climate, Taylor Wessing is one of the few international law firms to concentrate specifically on intellectual property protection and copyright law. Drawing on our depth of expertise and market-leading position in these fields, our clients benefit from optimum protection, defence and exploitation of their inventions and developments.
Our technology group advises technology-rich companies across a wide range of matters related to intellectual property issues, including strategy issues regarding property rights and filing applications for rights, the structure and performance of research and development contracts, the establishment of cross-border joint ventures, and rights infringements.
