Intellectual Property Law – Protecting Innovation and Commercial Value
In a commercial landscape shaped by innovation and brand value, intellectual property plays a critical role in protecting competitive advantage. Securing legal rights over ideas, branding, and creative output is essential to safeguarding commercial value and preventing misuse.
Lyon Croft Law advises individuals and businesses on the protection, management, and enforcement of intellectual property rights. From early-stage concepts to established portfolios, we provide strategic, commercially focused advice across trade marks, copyright, and related intellectual property matters, helping clients protect their assets and enforce their rights with confidence.
Core Services
Trade Marks and Brand Protection
Trade marks are central to brand identity and commercial recognition. We advise on the registration, protection, and enforcement of trade marks in the UK and internationally, helping businesses secure exclusive rights over names, logos, and branding. Our support includes trade mark strategy, infringement advice, portfolio management, and resolving brand-related disputes.
Copyright and Content Rights
Copyright protection is essential for creators and businesses producing original content. We advise on copyright ownership, licensing arrangements, and the commercial use of creative works, including written content, software, digital assets, and artistic material. Where unauthorised use occurs, we assist with enforcement action to protect your rights.
Design Rights
Design rights protect the appearance and visual features of products. We advise on both registered and unregistered design rights, helping clients protect product design, prevent imitation, and enforce rights where designs are copied or misused.
Intellectual Property Disputes and Enforcement
When intellectual property rights are infringed, prompt and decisive action is often required. We advise on IP disputes involving infringement, passing off, breach of licence agreements, and misuse of confidential information. Our approach is commercially focused, pursuing injunctions, damages, and negotiated settlements where appropriate, while remaining prepared to litigate when necessary.
