Copright Law - How secure is your intellectual property?

When you’ve spent a lot of time and money developing an idea or a product or design, it’s essential to protect it and prevent your rivals from infringing your rights or copying your ideas.

At HilliersHRW we use our commercial expertise to help you do this.

Assert your Copyright
Copyright protection covers items such as original music scores, books, newspapers and periodicals, sound recordings, photographs, films, technical drawings and computer software.

Register your Patents
You can protect any new invention (including computer software) by registering it at the Patents Office. We have access to the top Patent agencies.

Register your Trademarks and European Trademarks
If your company logo, product or brand names have a key influence over your competitive position, make sure they are registered with the appropriate office of authority.

Assert your Design Rights
Where you’ve created something through an industrial process, you need to have it registered.

At HilliersHRW we can help you with all your intellectual property issues. We can also help with:

• secrecy and non-disclosure agreements
• advice on infringements
• injunctions to protect your rights
• employment contracts to protect your inventions
• advice on character merchandising and passing off
