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. Copyright ProtectionCopyright protection covers items such as original music scores, books, newspapers and periodicals, sound recordings, photographs, films, technical drawings and computer software. PatentsYou can protect any new invention (including computer software) by registering it at the Patents Office. HilliersHRW have access to the top Patent Agencies. Trademarks and European TrademarksIf 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. Design RightsWhere you've created something through an industrial process, you should have it registered. Other related issues we can also assist 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; protection licenses for computer software application.
