Did you know that Stevens Hewlett & Perkins offer free IP Clinics to any business or individual, which can be held in-person, online or by telephone?
In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, safeguarding your intellectual property (IP) has never been more critical.
Whether you are an individual innovator, a dynamic start-up or a well-established multinational company, the value of your IP can be the cornerstone of your success.
Even so, navigating the complex world of intellectual property law can be daunting and at some point along your journey expert guidance becomes essential.
Stevens Hewlett & Perkins (SH&P) is a leading intellectual property law firm based in the UK, offering unparalleled expertise in protecting and enforcing IP rights globally. With decades of experience and a very diverse clientele, we are widely recognised for our professional yet personable approach, providing exceptional value to clients of all sizes.
One of our most sought after services is the IP Clinic program which is an SH&P initiative providing free intellectual property consultation advice to anyone who needs it.
The Importance of Intellectual Property Protection
Intellectual property is the lifeblood of many businesses, driving innovation, creativity and competitive advantage.
It encompasses a wide range of intangible assets, including patents, trade marks and design rights – each serving a specific purpose:
- Patents safeguard new inventions and technological advancements.
- Trade marks protect brand identity, ensuring that your brand name, logo and other identifiers remain uniquely yours and that you can prevent imitators and “brand thieves”.
- Design Rights protect the visual appearance (ornamental configuration) of objects and surface decoration.
Without proper protection, these creative assets can be quickly lost, which can have significant financial and reputational consequences because you lose the opportunity to assert any rights in those assets against others.
However, the process of securing IP rights is complex, often requiring in-depth legal knowledge and strategic planning because it needs to be done right. That’s where the expertise of SH&P becomes invaluable.
SH&P Free IP Clinics
At SH&P, we believe that everyone deserves access to top-tier intellectual property advice, regardless of their size or budget. That’s why we hold our IP Clinics — a no-cost consultation service aimed at helping businesses and individuals understand and protect their IP assets.
These IP Clinics are open to everyone, from entrepreneurs with a new idea to established businesses looking to safeguard their inventiveness or branding.
During these sessions, our experienced IP attorneys provide personalized advice tailored to your specific needs. Whether you are looking to obtain patent protection, trade mark your brand or protect your design rights, our IP Clinics offer the guidance you need to make informed decisions.
