Common questions
What can I register as intellectual property?
Commonly trademarks (brand names and logos), copyright (original creative works), and related rights. We advise on what is protectable and the right registration for your situation.
Someone is using my brand name, what can I do?
Your options depend on whether your mark is registered and the facts of the use. We advise on protecting and enforcing your rights, and on registration if it is not yet done.
Who owns work created by a contractor?
Not automatically the business that paid for it. Ownership depends on the agreement. We prepare assignment and licensing terms so the rights sit where they should.
