When it comes to standing out from your competitors, your intellectual property (IP) distinguishes your business and is a valuable asset. So, it is vital to protect your IP rights against copying or misuse, whether it is your logo, invention, trade secrets, or creative processes. There are many ways you can protect your intellectual property rights.
Trade Marks
Registering a trade mark is the best way to protect your slogan, logo, colour scheme, or even distinctive sound. LegalVision’s membership offers unlimited domestic trade mark applications. Our trade mark attorneys can assist you with legal advice on:
UK and overseas trade mark registrations; and
renewing UK trade marks.
Contracts
When an employee, supplier or partner leaves your business, there is a chance they will take your trade secrets with them. Protect your business with clearly defined employment and confidentiality agreements.
Our IP lawyers can assist you with determining the ideal, most cost-efficient means of protecting your intellectual property. Call our IP solicitors today on 0808 196 8584 or complete the form on this page.

How LegalVision Can Help
Experienced Intellectual Property Lawyers
Intellectual property can become more commercially significant as your business grows. A new product, rebrand, acquisition or expansion into another market can expose weaknesses in ownership or protection that previously had little practical effect.
Taking advice before committing significant capital gives you more options. We can assess what your business owns, how those rights are protected and whether contracts with employees, contractors and commercial partners deal with ownership appropriately. We also consider how your existing protection supports the markets, products and partnerships you plan to pursue.
For an established business, intellectual property may sit across several entities, brands and commercial relationships. It may also form a material part of an acquisition, investment or licensing arrangement. Our intellectual property solicitors advise on these issues in the context of the wider commercial objective, rather than treating registration or enforcement as isolated exercises.
Examples of when businesses come to us:
a new brand or product is launching and ownership, registration and clearance need resolving before significant market investment
an acquisition is underway and the buyer needs to confirm which assets transfer and whether key rights are properly documented
a competitor has started using similar branding or content and the business needs to assess its enforcement options quickly
Our expertise
IP strategy and ownership: We review intellectual property portfolios, ownership arrangements and existing protections, including during investment, acquisition or restructuring, so you can identify weaknesses before they affect a transaction or commercial plan.
Trade marks and designs: We advise on searches, applications, registrations, renewals and oppositions in the UK and overseas, allowing you to assess protection before investing further in a brand or product.
Licensing and commercialisation: We draft, review and negotiate licences, assignments and other commercial arrangements governing how intellectual property can be used, developed or transferred.
Confidential information and IP contracts: We advise on confidentiality, trade secrets and ownership provisions in employment, contractor, supplier and collaboration agreements, particularly where several parties contribute to valuable business assets.
Infringement and enforcement: We advise on suspected misuse involving trade marks, copyright, designs, confidential information and domain names, including available enforcement and dispute resolution options.
Our Services
Trade Marks
We can assist you in registering your trade mark in the UK and overseas and renew your trade mark registration, as well as provide you with guidance in respect of trade mark costs and oppositions.
Brand Protection
Whether you are looking for legal advice on designs, copyright, domain names, licensing or enforcement, our intellectual property lawyers can ensure your brand is protected in the UK and globally.
“We act for growing businesses, technology companies and established brands across trade mark protection, licensing, commercialisation and enforcement matters. We generally prefer to address ownership and protection before a launch, investment or transaction creates pressure to resolve them quickly. Our clients return to us as their brands, products and commercial relationships develop because intellectual property decisions should support the wider business strategy.”

unlimited legal services membership. When you become a member, you get access to an experienced team of
lawyers to assist with all your business' legal needs. Your membership includes:
Unlimited Document Drafting, Reviews and Amendments
An intellectual property solicitor advises on protecting, owning, commercialising and enforcing assets such as trade marks, copyright, designs and confidential information. We also draft and negotiate licences, assignments and contractual IP provisions, and advise where another party may be infringing your rights.
What types of intellectual property can LegalVision help protect?
Our IP solicitors can help businesses protect trade marks, copyright, designs, confidential information and software, and confirm ownership of work created by founders, contractors and agencies. For patents, they can coordinate with a patent attorney.
Can LegalVision help register a UK trade mark?
Yes. Our solicitors can help with clearance searches, choosing classes and filing UK trade mark applications with the UK Intellectual Property Office. They can also help through examination and any opposition, and with international protection.
Can I license intellectual property without giving up ownership?
Yes, a licence can let another party use intellectual property while ownership stays with your business. LegalVision’s solicitors can prepare and negotiate licences covering permitted use, territory, exclusivity, royalties, quality controls and termination.
How does LegalVision handle an intellectual property matter?
IP matters usually start with the asset, ownership position and commercial objective. Our solicitors can then check registrations and contracts, explain protection or enforcement options and prepare documents such as licences, assignments or confidentiality provisions.
Our IP solicitors protect brands and content for businesses in technology, retail, food and drink, media and consumer products. Fixed fees provide cost certainty, and quick turnarounds help when a launch, rebrand, or infringement issue cannot wait.
