In today’s competitive business environment, safeguarding your intellectual property (IP) is essential for maintaining a strong market position and fostering growth. Whether you are a startup, an established company, or an independent creator, our team at Consultant provides expert guidance on protecting your valuable intellectual assets across the UK.
A patent grants inventors exclusive rights to their inventions—products or processes—allowing them to control use, production, and commercialization for a defined period, typically 20 years. This legal protection ensures inventors can prevent unauthorized use and seek remedies such as financial compensation or injunctions for infringement.
In the UK, patents are issued either as GB national patents through the UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) or as European patents validated in the UK. While unitary European patents no longer extend to the UK post-Brexit, UK patents remain fully enforceable through the national courts.
Registering a patent not only secures exclusive rights but also increases your company’s value. Patents can be sold, licensed, or used as collateral to attract investment, making them strategic assets for any business. For pharmaceutical or plant protection products, Supplementary Protection Certificates (SPCs) can extend patent protection by up to five additional years, compensating for regulatory delays.
Protecting confidential information, trade secrets, and know-how is critical for maintaining a competitive advantage. Consultant lawyers assist businesses in implementing measures to prevent unauthorized disclosure, misuse, or theft of sensitive internal knowledge.
Trademarks secure the unique elements of your brand, such as logos, names, or symbols. UKIPO registration ensures statutory protection throughout the UK. Trademarks must be actively used and renewed every ten years; otherwise, rights may lapse or be challenged. Registered trademarks allow businesses to prevent others from copying or diluting brand identity, safeguarding reputation and market trust.
