 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been a client with Seddons for years and they are truly excellent. My lawyer Odein Willie-Harry is exceptional. She is knowledgeable, always available, kind and considerate and most of all a rock. Selling my house was stressful but the one thing I always knew is that I could rely on her advice and support. I can't thank her and the team enough. Happy New Year Seddons! I will be back when I find a new property 😌

FAQs

If you can’t find what you need, please contact us directly.

What is intellectual property (IP)?

Intellectual property refers to legal rights that protect creations of the mind such as inventions, trademarks, designs, software and artistic
works.

Why is trademark protection important?

Trademarks protect your brand identity, preventing others from using confusingly similar marks and helping secure consumer recognition and market position.

Can you help with patent applications?

Yes. We guide clients through patentability assessments, drafting, filing and prosecution to help secure enforceable patent rights.

What is IP enforcement?

IP enforcement involves taking legal action to stop unauthorised use, infringement or counterfeiting of your protected rights, whether through negotiation, mediation or litigation.

How do IP licensing agreements work?

An IP licence allows another party to use your intellectual property under defined terms. We draft and negotiate licences that protect your interests and generate
commercial benefit.

Do you advise on international IP protection?

Yes. We help clients develop strategies for international filings, coordinate overseas
portfolios and advise on cross -border IP enforcement issues.
