Intellectual Property and IT

The Intellectual Property and Information Technology “IP and IT” Team at Stephens Scown is dedicated to innovation.  Just like you, it’s the lifeblood of our business.  Just like you, we are used to pushing into new territory, developing new ways of working and leading others in our industry.  Just like you, we know the importance of protecting our IP.

Our dedicated team is here to help you identify your IP, protect and exploit it, both in the UK and overseas.  Whether you are looking to protect your trade mark, register your designs, deal with infringers, ensure your website is legally compliant, license your software, or to commercialise your IP through commercial arrangements, we pride ourselves on our ability to give straight forward and no nonsense advice on the complex issues you may face.

Our lawyers have extensive experience of advising individuals, SMEs, PLC’s and public sector bodies and have given IP advice to a broad range of sectors, including food and drink, leisure, renewables, pharmaceuticals, fashion and retail, including e-commerce.  Whatever sector you are in, whatever stage your business is at, we will take the time to learn about your business, to understand what makes it tick.  

By working with you, our IP and IT team will help you stay one step ahead.
