Design

Design plays an integral part in any brand strategy. The IP team can advise you on all aspects of UK and European Community design rights, both registered and unregistered. We regularly advise clients on the registrability of designs and provide them with pre-launch advice in relation to identified third party rights. Our international network of associates assists us with advising on global design strategy.

Our team has particular expertise in the licensing and assignment of designs across all industry sectors and in most commercial territories.

Dispute resolution is integral to the design practice. Design disputes do happen, and whether you have been accused of copying another's work, or if your design has been copied, we will provide you with cost-effective advice in a commercial context.

We advise designers of all disciplines and in all fields including interactive media, animation, fashion, furniture, product and graphic designers.

We work closely with the British Design Initiative as its legal partner and founder member providing them with standard documentation that members may use in their transactions. We also work with Swansea Animation Days (SAND) contribute regularly to 3D World and provide legal support to Own It, the intellectual property advice service of Creative London, ensuring that we are up-to-date with developments in all disciplines in the design industry.
