In an economy that increasingly revolves around creative output, inventions, know-how, information and brand names, intellectual property is one of a company's most valuable assets.
Whether a business is successful or not often depends on how carefully it protects, defends and exploits its intellectual property - these are the keys to a company's innovative power and creativity and they secure its reputation and market position.

For many companies doing business in Europe, the critical question is where they should protect, commercialise or defend their IP assets.

We have one of the largest European Intellectual Property Groups, with over 100 specialist lawyers (many of them with science/technology degrees and industry experience) in the UK, Germany and France, covering all areas of contentious and non-contentious intellectual property matters.
