Intellectual Property and the Law
The protection and legal use of various forms of intellectual property can be vital to the success of a business. Yet misunderstandings about the rights and obligations associated with intellectual property often arise.
Did You Know?
- Using the registered trade mark symbol (®) on an unregistered mark is a criminal offence.
- Some intellectual property rights, such as copyright, arise at the point of creation. They do not have to be registered in order to be protected property.
- Without a proper agreement in place, you may find you do not own property you thought you purchased.
At Pearne & Co, our solicitors have the experience and knowledge to help you manage, use and protect intellectual property in a manner that is legally valid and commercially beneficial to your business.
