Trademarks, designs, software, creative works and other intellectual property assets play an important role in companies’ commercial operations and the value of their businesses. APX Legal advises on the protection, use, transfer and commercial exploitation of intellectual and industrial property rights.
Our work covers agreements relating to trademarks, designs, patents and copyright, licensing and assignment transactions, the structuring of usage rights, ownership issues and allegations of infringement. We address these matters with particular regard to the commercial needs of businesses in the technology, media, manufacturing and retail sectors.
Intellectual property rights often need to be assessed alongside commercial contracts, technology investments, mergers and acquisitions and competition law. We advise on software development arrangements, technology transfers, trademark licensing, protection of trade secrets and unfair competition. Our work also includes assessing legal remedies and handling proceedings arising from alleged infringements of intellectual property rights.
