The Intellectual Property team at McCann FitzGerald LLP advises leading multinational and domestic clients on the protection, enforcement and commercialisation of IP rights across life sciences, technology, telecommunications, fashion and retail. Recognised for strength in both contentious and non-contentious matters, we deliver strategic, commercially focused solutions that protect innovation and brand value.
We have deep experience in complex patent and SPC litigation, particularly in the pharmaceutical, biotech and medical devices sectors. We regularly act in high-stakes Commercial Court proceedings, securing and defending injunctive relief in critical product launch scenarios.
In the technology sector, we advise on IP issues arising from software development and licensing, IT procurement, outsourcing and digital transformation projects. We support clients on the IP aspects of major commercial contracts, M&A transactions, joint ventures and technology transfers.
Our practice also covers trade marks, brand enforcement, copyright, design rights and domain name protection, including WIPO complaints. We advise on parallel imports, anti-counterfeiting strategies, sponsorship and naming rights, and the protection of confidential information and trade secrets. We provide integrated advice on IP-related pharmaceutical regulatory matters, ensuring clients’ rights are protected throughout the product lifecycle.
