Intellectual property
Whether it’s ideas, designs, a brand name or your personal image, you need to have peace of mind that your intellectual property rights are properly protected.

Because, when you invest significant amounts in acquiring IP rights, you need to be sure they’re not going to be pirated. After all, they can be one of your most important assets.

You can trust us to ensure your rights remain protected and enforced at every stage of their life cycle, both here in the UK and abroad. And with piracy and passing off ever on the increase, you can’t sit back and assume it won’t happen to you.

Dispute resolution
Where infringement does occur, you can depend on Teacher Stern to take swift and decisive action to prevent further infringement, and to recover compensation for damage incurred.

Commercial exploitation
It’s all very well coming up with a fantastic computer game or a wonderful new song, but you need to know how you can exploit them commercially. We’ll advise on how you can license and make the most of your ideas - without prejudicing their protectability.

The commercial and litigation IP issues we can help you with include:

• trademarks (registered and unregistered)
• passing off
• patents
• copyright
• image rights and design rights
• brand management
• domain names, meta-tags and e-defamation
• trade secrets
• false advertising and related unfair competition issues.
