Browne Jacobson

I specialise in intellectual property dispute resolution, with a particular focus on patents, and have experience across the full range of intellectual property rights:

patents and trade marks;
copyright and moral rights;
design rights and registered designs;
domain names;
defamation and malicious falsehood;
anti'counterfeiting;
breach of confidentiality; and
restrictive covenants.

I advise clients on preliminary injunctive relief and other forms of immediate action to be taken upon discovery of an IP infringement and have extensive experience of multijurisdictional IP enforcement programmes.
