We really enjoy working with businesses at their inception and helping them at every stage of their development. Our deep understanding of the issues start-ups face as they navigate their first few years in business helps us tailor our guidance to their unique circumstances.
We help start-ups achieve commercial success by securing vital IP rights on their behalf. This helps to attract investment, safeguards their technology, and can generate valuable publicity.
However, our support for start-ups and entrepreneurs is multi-faceted and goes far beyond our core service of obtaining registered IP rights. We can review the different types of IP being created by the business and advise on strategies to protect those rights. UK businesses can seek funding towards the cost of an IP audit from Innovate UK and other bodies and we can help to acquire this support.
It is also important to clarify the ownership of IP at an early stage, to ensure a business actually owns those rights, which may not be straightforward when multiple inventors or collaborators are involved, or IP is licensed from elsewhere.
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing our clients grow and prosper based on robust IP rights. We seek long-term partnerships and can advise at every stage of a company’s growth. Our enviable network of external professionals includes solicitors, tax advisors, funding providers and design agencies, and we are always happy to make introductions for our clients either formally or via our regular hosted networking events.
