We have extensive experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants in all aspects of contentious intellectual property matters.

Urgent action is often required in intellectual property disputes. We possess the expertise and resources to take swift action to protect and secure our clients' interests. In particular we have experience in relation to what is probably the most frequently used tool in this area of the law: an injunction application before the Superior Courts.

In addition, our expertise in this area enables us to advise our clients as to the best practical course of action - bearing in mind our client's commercial considerations.

Examples of the areas in which we frequently litigate are trade mark infringement, passing off, counterfeiting, grey market goods, patent infringement, agency and distribution agreements, copyright enforcement and protection of confidential information. We have dealt with a wide variety of high profile cases involving subject matter ranging from beverages, household goods, clothing ranges and accessories, board games, greeting cards and computer software and hardware. We often advise in disputes that have an international dimension and are fully experienced in liasing with lawyers in other jurisdictions.
