About

Provided by Harper Macleod LLP

Our team provides advice on all aspects of intellectual property and technology throughout Scotland, the UK and internationally.

Working with a wide range of clients, from entrepreneurs, start-ups and spin-out companies through to multinational organisations, we are known for our practical, commercial and solutions-driven approach.

We advise across all business sectors in every area of intellectual property and technology, from intangible asset protection, management and commercialisation, to copyright, patent law, information technology and media law.

We are one of only two Scottish firms to retain a filing and prosecution practice in respect of trade mark rights, and the only Scottish firm to offer a holistic brand protection service, which includes anti-counterfeit and customs management services.

We have assisted with the drafting and implementing of new IP-related legislation, at both a Scottish and UK parliament level.
