Willis and Bowring have expertise in the area of Intellectual Property through Dean Stell, a practitioner of over 30 years experience.

The law in relation to Intellectual Property touches on nearly every conceivable business transaction and an understanding of the law in this area is critical to ensure that Intellectual Property Rights are properly managed and protected.

This area is not fully understood by most general practitioners and covers:

• Patents,
• Trademarks,
• Registered Designs,
• Copyright; and
• Confidential Information and Trade Secrets.

If you have any needs in relation to protecting:

• your valuable business name or the name of some product or services supplied by you;
• an invention made by you;
• some Confidential Information or Trade Secret;
• the shape of an article or pattern on an article;
• software, a painting, a book or article or a photograph authored by you;

or if you are intending to licence your rights in any of the above to a third party or are yourself to be a licensee of any such rights, which is common in the case of:

• a franchisor/franchisee relationship;
• a manufacturer/supplier relationship;and
• a supplier/distributor relationship;

please feel free to contact Dean Stell to discuss your needs.
