IP Transactions & Exploitation

Maucher Jenkins is a full service Intellectual Property (IP) firm that delivers all of the core patent skills you would expect, but unlike many firms, we don’t stop there. All of our attorneys are skilled in delivering these services in a way that is tailored to your individual business needs.

Our trade mark team protects the brands and trade mark portfolios of a wide range of clients, including start-ups, SMEs and multi-nationals.

Protecting your product’s design is a vital part of any intellectual property strategy. Our team of expert design filers are very experienced in this area of IP law and can guide through protecting and enforcing your own rights.

Copyright protection is automatic – you don’t have to apply or pay a fee to secure it.

Wherever possible, we help our clients to resolve disputes without there being a need to go to court.

As well as advising on filing and prosecution strategies, we can help you to develop and implement strategies that maximise the quality and value of your IP while minimising the cost and management burden of owning it.
