Cripps Harries Hall

What we do

We advise on the creation, protection and exploitation of the full range of intellectual property rights. These include patents and know-how, trade marks, designs, copyright, data rights and confidential information.

We prepare agreements for licensing, manufacture and R&D. We advise on effective IP management. We take action against those infringing your rights - and defend you from IP claims made against you.

We also specialise in issues arising from the complex data protection legislation.

Why Cripps Harries Hall?

We believe strongly that intellectual property is an integral part of business activity, not to be treated in isolation.

We provide advice geared to what matters for your business. Pragmatic, timely and flexible. Agreements are commercially effective as well as legally compliant.

We deal with disputes firmly according to commercial priorities, not abstract principles.
