Intellectual Property Law

Our intellectual property legal experts work to protect your valuable company information.

Your intellectual property is a vital business asset - we'll help you develop and protect it

Protecting and enforcing your intellectual property rights

Your trademarks, patents and copyright are all valuable business assets, but they are not always as protected and defended as they should be. We can help you identify these assets and the risks and opportunities associated with them. Tees will be on your side if you need to litigate to enforce your rights through the courts.

Our experience as intellectual property specialists

We’ve helped clients from multi-national software businesses to regional transport firms identify unregistered rights, revising licensing, maintenance and re-sale agreements. We’ve also advised a substantial private company in the acquisition and development of unregistered rights and software and the acquisition of several intellectual property owning companies as part of an ongoing development strategy.

Intellectual property services for you

Our experts cover all legal service, such as helping with intellectual property strategy, audits, licensing and dealing with disputes. We will help protect and manage your patents and engage in litigatation if it becomes necessary.

I have been told my property has development potential. What do I do?

If you’ve been contacted by a developer or a land promoter regarding a potential development to your property, you may wish to consider granting an option agreement or a promotion agreement. An option agreement is made between the landowner and the developer, where it is intended that the developer will apply for planning permission and requires an option to buy the property. A land promotion agreement is used where a developer agrees to apply for planning permission and will market the property for sale on the open market once planning permission has been obtained. This is usually in return for a proportion of the net sale proceeds. The law on this is very complex and you will need specialist advice.
