How can we help?

Patents

A patent is an exclusive legal right, lasting up to 20 years, which is granted to an owner of an invention. The owner must file a patent application before the invention becomes known. An application may be filed for a national patent, such as a UK patent, or for a European patent. If patent protection is required in many countries throughout the world, this may be achieved by filing an International application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). A granted patent is an important commercial asset and can be a valuable business tool. Patents can be obtained for minor but inventive improvements to existing technologies as well as for major technological innovations.

Designs & Copyright

Both registered designs and design right (unregistered designs) protect a product’s outward appearance, its aesthetic appeal. Copyright comes into existence automatically when work is created by an author. Copyright exists in a variety of forms, including in software.
