Technology and IP services for the tech sector
Blake Morgan’s nationwide Intellctual Property (IP) team are experts in applying IP law to the technology sector. Our specialist trade mark, copyright and tech IP lawyers advise a broad range of clients from start-ups to household names. Whatever their size or tech sector, our clients have in common the need to not only protect but to exploit what is often their key asset which differentiates them from their competitors. Technology companies often have specific needs which differ from those operating in other sectors. Blake Morgan offers leaders in the field of IP who understand the needs of the technology sector.
Main Areas Of Practice
Specialist IP advice designed for the technology sector focused on providing commercial and pragmatic solutions to technology clients.
Software Copyright
Computer software is treated as a “literary work” and we advise developers on their copyright to prevent competitors from copying, adapting and launching their software ideas and creations.
Database rights
Today businesses hold an increasing amount of data. We offer excellent service and legal advice from our Intellectual Property team specialising in database rights.
Know-how and trade secret protection
Our expert technology lawyers are experienced in helping clients keep their sensitive information safe and offer a range of services from confidentiality agreements to NDAs.
Registered and unregistered designs
A registered design right gives you complete control over the design, whereas an unregistered right only gives you the ability to prevent others from copying your design. We can advise on the best option for you and your business.
Trade marks
We have a wealth of experience in advising clients on protecting and enforcing their trade mark rights.
