Nowhere are intellectual property (IP) matters more contentious than on the internet. Standard IP issues can quickly become complex in this arena so it is important for individuals and businesses to be aware of their rights and how to protect them. 

We have a team of experts who deal with all matters relating to internet IP and the internet whether in relation to the user, the service provider, the content owner or the subject matter of material published on the internet.

Our particular strengths are in copyright infringement, defamation, liability issues,  domain name transfers and disputes, website design contracts,  use of trade marks, website hosting agreements, internet and e-mail usage policies, and e-mail operations.

Our team act in design and management agreements for web, manage brand licensing agreements, deal with non-contentious internet-related work and manage the acquisition and transfer of websites and domain names. Other work includes the revising of supply and support agreements for clients and advising on consumer protection regulations on distance selling for e-tail companies. This includes website terms and conditions of use and terms and conditions of sale.

Our clients include large and small e-business companies, software houses, ISPs, national organisations and educational establishments. We have the expertise to help avoid internet IP issues arising and also to tackle them effectively if they do.
