Stanleys offers many years technical and legal experience in Intellectual Property matters.

Patents – Trade Marks – Designs

Our fully qualified European Patent & Trade Mark Attorneys prepare and file applications, deal with examination issues, see applications through to grant and look after renewal fees that become due.

We advise on rights held by others, whether they pose an infringement risk and, if so, how our clients may get round this.

These services are provided for all countries of the world, utilising our network of overseas attorneys where required.

Copyright

We advise on copyright matters and assist clients with establishing proof of date of creation of their works.  We can attend to registration of copyright in the few countries where this is provided.

Litigation

Where it is necessary enforce IP rights, or respond to someone else trying to enforce their rights, we can act in the early stages and, should Court proceedings be necessary, we work with top-class Advocates, Solicitors and IP Counsel.

Licensing

We assist with licensing matters, both by way of general advice and detailed agreements.

Preliminary Searches and Appraisals

For clients who would like professional assistance in checking out their new ideas, we offer a budget service to look for prior proposals that may readily be identified.

For clients who would like more thorough investigations into their area of interest, we do that too.
