Intellectual Property

As a business or individual, your work and Intellectual Property is what differentiates you from others. It is valuable, important and should be protected.

Intellectual property can include your:

  • Name;
  • Logo;
  • Programs;
  • Publications;
  • Material;
  • Design and content of a website;
  • Website name or address;
  • Applications;
  • Ideas;
  • Intentions or creations; and
  • Business innovations.

These are important, and when someone infringes on your intellectual property rights by using or taking your material without consent, this can cause undue loss, harm and damage to your name, reputation or performance.

There are options available to you if you believe someone has taken your intellectual property, or is unjustly benefiting from your designs. These include enforcing trademarks, copyrights, patents or designs.

If you feel like your intellectual property is being used, or you are after tailored advice on your situation and possible options, our Dispute Resolution team at Marsdens is experienced and able to help by guiding and acting for you, with the goal of protecting your intellectual property.
