Commercialisation

Allens Arthur Robinson's Intellectual Property team has the commercial skills to help you commercialise your designs.

Effectively commercialising your designs

Designs have a specific, and often valuable, place in your intellectual property portfolio. We can help you effectively commercialise your designs, and maintain the distinctive look and appeal of your products. We combine the commercial skills of our intellectual property team with those of our integrated patent and trade marks attorney firm to offer you proven skills and results.

The overlap between design registrations and copyright law is complex, and we provide a clear commercial assessment of the legal issues you face. See (Copyright overlap).

Licences can provide a very valuable income stream for you, and effective licensing enables you to maximise the commercial potential of your designs. We'll advise you on accepting licences of designs, as well as providing other commercial advice, including issues of design assignment.

When you acquire or sell a business, we can provide you with specialist advice, and conduct reviews of designs and other intellectual property to ensure the effective valuation and transfer of the intellectual property. We also advise on the assessment of rights and on licensing issues.

If rights to employee intellectual property are important to you, we can help you address workplace intellectual property and confidentiality issues.
