Oppositions & Appeals
Barker Brettell has a strong track record in patent and trade mark oppositions and appeals. Whether your IP rights need defending from third party attacks, you want to challenge the validity of IP rights belonging to others, or you need to challenge a decision already issued by an IPO, our attorneys are accomplished at protecting the interests of businesses during disputes. An opposition or appeal is not only about whether you win, but also whether the outcome is right for you commercially.
Designs & Copyright
Our specialist team of design rights experts is one of the largest and most experienced in the UK. As the leading UK filer of Community Registered Designs, the team has filed thousands of designs for companies ranging from global corporations to SMEs which means we have the best chance of ensuring your designs are fully protected. Design rights protect the appearance of a wide variety of products and other articles. They can protect industrial items as well as aesthetic or artistic creations, sometimes in situations where patent or trade mark protection is not possible or viable. Whatever you have designed, our team will make sure it is protected in the best way possible.
Patents
Our UK and European patent attorneys have achieved the highest levels of qualification in a wide range of specialist technical backgrounds. This, alongside significant legal IP expertise, means we can advise you on the best approach to formal patent protection for your ideas and innovation, whatever the technology. Patents are a valuable commercial tool, protecting the investment of time and money in R&D and essential in protecting market share. Our attorneys can help R&D teams identify, capture and protect patent-worthy innovation to ensure the best returns for their creativity. As a leading UK filer of patents, our attorneys have extensive expertise in guiding clients through the patent prosecution process, adding value at each stage.
Trade Marks
Our trade mark department is among the largest of any private patent and trade mark attorney practice across the United Kingdom. We’re also one of the highest filers of UK and European trade mark applications. We recognise that brands are fundamental to the success of many businesses and our drive is to ensure that we can help you capitalise on the value that these important assets bring to your company. Our team of trade mark experts can draw on a wide range of skills and background experiences to provide a proactive and encompassing service.
