Clifford Chance
We can offer our clients our practically applied Intellectual Property knowledge and expertise, as well as a deep understanding of the challenges involved with conducting a market leading, international business in a constantly evolving technological environment.
Our lawyers handling Intellectual Property work collaborate closely with our antitrust experts in finding solutions to the issues that can arise from the tensions between the two areas of expertise.
Intellectual property advice
Our Intellectual Property teams offer a breadth of experience in Intellectual Property transactional and advisory work, covering the full range of Intellectual Property subjects, in both domestic and international contexts. Like our IP disputes lawyers, most of our transactional and advisory Intellectual Property lawyers focus on specific sectors and bring both pure and applied legal knowledge to client projects.
Intellectual property disputes and enforcement
Our Intellectual Property lawyers have extensive experience of strategizing, pursuing and defending Intellectual Property disputes in a wide range of forums. Our Intellectual Property lawyers are used to dealing with technical and specific subject matter, and many of them focus on specific sectors, giving them an applied knowledge of how Intellectual Property is exploited in practice. They frequently work with colleagues and external local lawyers in other jurisdictions to ensure claims are pursued consistently and in the most appropriate forums.
They will pursue and defend cases aggressively and effectively but are able to resolve a high percentage of disputes by negotiated settlements.
