Lewis Silkin - Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property

We do things differently to other firms when it comes to intellectual property and brand management in order to go further for our clients.

We are recognised as punching above our weight in the intellectual property arena. Our trade mark team combines a mixture of lawyers and trade mark attorneys and is one of the fastest growing trade mark filing and portfolio management practices in the UK. We have acted on a number of leading trade mark cases over recent years before the UK courts and the ECJ and are becoming increasingly known for our design and domain name work. We have a longstanding reputation for working with creative industries including advertising, media, entertainment, fashion and publishing, whether advising on copyright /clearance issues or licensing commercial rights.
