Cobbetts is a leading intellectual property law firm advising clients on a wide range of intellectual property issues.

Modern business exists in the knowledge economy and the intellectual property rights which businesses own are frequently their most valuable assets. The Intellectual Property law team understand the importance of these issues to its clients, and is expert in dealing with a full spectrum of intellectual property issues – from brand protection and confidentiality through to ownership, venture capital investment, fund-raising and exploitation of intellectual property.

Where litigation is unavoidable, the team will provide expertise in all fields of intellectual property disputes – including patent and trade mark infringements and passing off. In particular, we have expertise in emergency remedies – including injunctions – and have found that a swift, hard-hitting response at an early stage will usually result in an early and favourable settlement.

As well as the usual areas of intellectual property, we have advised clients on a range of other and related topics - from database rights and pharmaceutical authorisations through to more “off the wall” areas such as plant variety protection rights.
