Venner Shipley on Licensing & Litigation

Intellectual property rights are valuable assets that should be used to their full commercial advantage.

Experience

Venner Shipley has a wealth of experience advising and assisting clients on how best to exploit, assert and, when necessary, defend their intellectual property rights. Whether assigning a valuable patent, negotiating a complex trade mark licence or asserting a registered design against a blatant infringer, we can help clients to successfully achieve their commercial objectives.

We have extensive experience of infringement and revocation proceedings in the UK Patents Court and have successfully asserted and defended our clients’ intellectual property rights on numerous occasions both in the UK and overseas.

Expertise

Our patent and trade mark attorneys have rights of audience at the UK Intellectual Property Office, the European Patent Office, the Patents County Court, and the European Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM). They regularly represent clients at opposition hearings and in other contentious matters.

Our professionally accredited patent attorney and trade mark attorney litigators and our (non-practising) solicitors only add to the firm’s knowledge pool and depth of experience in litigation matters.
