Your intellectual property (IP) is one of your most valuable business assets. At Porter Dodson, we help you protect, enforce, and defend your IP rights - so you can maintain your competitive advantage and focus on growth.

 

Whether you're facing an infringement claim or need to take action against unauthorised use of your IP, our experienced litigators provide strategic, commercially focused advice to help you resolve disputes effectively.

How we help

We advise on all areas of contentious IP matters, including:

  • Trade mark infringement and invalidity proceedings
  • Copyright infringement
  • Patent disputes and enforcement
  • Design right infringement
  • Domain name disputes
  • Misuse of trade secrets and confidential information

 


 

 

Our approach

Allegations of IP infringement can be unexpected and disruptive, but with the right legal strategy, they can often be robustly defended or resolved. Our team has a strong track record in both pursuing and defending IP claims, with a focus on protecting your commercial interests and reputation.

 

We work closely with clients across a wide range of sectors, tailoring our approach to the nature of the dispute and the value of the IP at stake.
