Intellectual Property & Brand Protection
Protect investments related to your confidential information, innovations, products and creations by managing your intellectual property rights.
The image and reputation of your business is everything. The success of your brand is not only linked to profits, but also how you deal with these intangible assets.
Gerrish Legal has specific experience advising on confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements, as well as in all areas of soft-IP, such as copyright, design rights and trade marks.
With a focus on assisting clients in the fashion and retail sectors, we have also advised several technology, outsourcing and consultancy companies on how to protect their brand, business secrets, ideas and manage the IP rights that they use or create on behalf of others.
