IP Litigation & Dispute Resolution

Our litigators are experienced in a broad spectrum of contentious IP matters, including those relating to:

• Trade marks
• Passing off and unfair competition
• Patents
• Designs
• Domain names and cybersquatting
• Online IP infringements
• Company and business name disputes
• Counterfeiting and grey market goods

We represent clients before the UK and German courts, and on a European level, the Unified Patent Court, General Court and Court of Justice. For smaller matters, our litigators represent clients in the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court (IPEC).

Cost-Effective Dispute Resolution

We endeavour to find legal solutions that meet your business objectives, in the most cost-effective manner possible. 

In the UK, we are experts in litigating before the IPEC, whose streamlined procedures are designed to handle IP cases in a focused way, with a cap on recoverable costs and an eye to cost-benefit throughout the process. We bring this same focus on business objectives and costs management to our handling of High Court and Court of Appeal matters, too. 

In Germany, we regularly secure interim and permanent relief on behalf of our clients and are skilled at securing swift and cost-effective outcomes in the Federal Patent Court and regional courts throughout the country. 

We understand the PR sensitivities that litigation can bring and help you to navigate media enquiries and to plan and structure public communications about a case when litigating. 

Our in-depth understanding of both technology and brands makes us not only strong litigators and advocates, but also skilled negotiators. We are adept at securing deals for our clients through mediations and negotiations, which enable businesses to get on with what they do best – business.
