Brands & Intellectual Property
Lewis Silkin is one of the very few law firms that is able to represent its clients across all fields of IP. Our team of over 50 commercial and litigation IP lawyers, patent and trade mark attorneys and specialist support staff deliver a co-ordinated global IP strategy with a consistent approach across the searching, registration, management, commercialisation, defence and enforcement of all IP assets.
We represent clients nationally both in the UK and Ireland, and internationally through our extensive network of trusted contacts. Our client base covers diverse industry sectors, including FMCG, technology, pharma, advertising, media, entertainment, sports, retail, fashion, leisure, automotive and professional services.
We manage global IP portfolios of tens of thousands of trade marks, designs and patents and our litigation team has acted on many leading IP cases as well as coordinating multi-jurisdictional disputes. Driving value from IP through licensing, franchising, sales and securitisation is the focus of our lawyers.
Clients often require a mosaic of services provided from a variety of platforms, domains, content monitoring, anti-counterfeiting tools and custom search functionality. We partner with tech providers to deliver this as part of a comprehensive centrally delivered IP360 solutions. We also offer unique innovative services such as AdSlogans, developed by the firm, which is a database of slogans and endlines used in advertising.
