Designs and Copyright

Pragmatic advice with commercially viable outcomes

At Barker Brettell, we can support the protection of a copyright work or design rights, and help you enforce your rights against unwanted infringements.

Our specially qualified litigators, can advise you on the strength of your case, work with you to try and stop the infringers without having to resort to court, and if necessary, guide you through the whole court process. We try to ensure that doing so makes economic sense, so that you are not put out of pocket by enforcing your rights.

If allegations of infringement are made against you, in some cases, a robustly worded response is all it will take for the threat of action to go away. For those cases which cannot easily be dismissed, we can help navigate pre-court negotiations and potentially the court case itself.
