We are a firm specializing in intellectual property (IP) law and the commercial aspects of this field.
The firm consists primarily of patent attorneys with broad practical experience. Our technical qualifications include mechanics, physics, metallurgy, materials, chemistry and biochemistry. Like most South African IP firms, our practice extends to the protection of any invention. We do have particular experience in mining and mining machinery, pharmaceuticals, hydraulics, pneumatics, and computer and Internet related inventions.
The firm places strong emphasis on establishment, maintenance and enforcement of IP rights.
We believe in negotiation rather than litigation to seek win-win solutions to IP disputes. However, if clients’ interests so dictate, we do not hesitate to approach the courts for a final decision. This approach extends to the fields of unlawful competition and passing off, as well as to the remedies available under the Counterfeit Goods Act.
The firm also handles all aspects of trade mark prosecution and litigation. This adds to our experience in registered designs and copyright matters to provide well rounded competence in any intellectual property matters.
We strive to provide top level services relating to worldwide IP of value that makes business sense for each client.
Our firm caters for local clients as well as international clients and attorneys. We are also part of an established network of IP attorneys throughout Africa and the rest of world. |
