At National Business Register, we offer more than just trade mark and design registration services. Our team provides comprehensive Intellectual Property (IP) advisory, consultancy, and representation to help businesses effectively protect, manage, and leverage their valuable IP assets.
Services
An IP audit is essential for understanding the strengths and vulnerabilities within your intellectual property portfolio. By conducting a thorough audit, we help businesses uncover potential opportunities to bolster their IP, assess the value of existing assets, and implement strategic steps to ensure long-term growth.
Our audit process involves an analysis of your company’s IP assets, examining everything from copyright to trade marks and design rights. We also identify any risks of third-party infringement. Our team will conduct an initial meeting to understand your business’s background, then carry out the audit, culminating in a detailed report. This report includes a recommended IP management plan, timelines, and cost estimates for any enhancements.
Protecting IP through well-structured contracts is crucial. Generic contracts can leave businesses exposed to disputes, missed protections, and unclear terms. We ensure that your contracts serve your business needs by offering:
- New Contracts: Assistance in drafting or reviewing contracts for IP sales, transfers, licensing, and franchising.
- Commercialisation Guidance: Advice on contracts that support IP monetisation and secure usage rights.
- Contractual Interpretation: Clarity on what your current contracts allow or restrict.
With our support, you can feel confident that your IP is protected and your commercial interests secured.
Our representation services include:
- Trade Mark Oppositions: Defending or challenging trade marks that face opposition.
- Invalidation & Cancellation Proceedings: Representing clients in invalidation and cancellation actions to protect their IP interests.
- Cease & Desist Actions: Issuing or responding to cease and desist letters to enforce IP rights and prevent infringement.
Whether you’re looking to proactively protect your IP, need assistance with IP-related contracts, or require representation in a dispute, our team is here to help.
