Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions about Intellectual Property law in the UK, answered.
A patent protects an invention, such as a new product or process, while a trademark protects a brand name, logo, or slogan used to identify and distinguish goods or services. Patents have a limited term (usually 20 years), while trademarks can be renewed indefinitely.
To protect your company's trade secrets, you should implement a combination of legal and practical measures, including non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with employees and business partners, access restrictions to confidential information, and clear policies on data security.
The remedies for copyright infringement in the UK include injunctive relief (to stop the infringing activity), damages (to compensate the copyright owner for their losses), and the seizure and destruction of infringing goods. In some cases, criminal liability may also apply.
