Our firm also provides IP Audits (or “legal health checks”) to ensure that your intellectual property is being properly protected.

This involves:

• Identifying what intellectual property you own
• Putting measures in place to ensure that it is properly protected (this could involve filing trade mark registrations, ensuring that you are using your trade marks in the right way; using correct IP symbols such as ©, ® and the ™)
• Drafting copyright deeds of assignment to transfer ownership of intellectual property created by independent contractors for your business
• Putting systems in place to ensure that IP is maintained.
