Design law is an area of IP law which interacts with both trade marks and patents. Our team is drawn from both specialisms, enabling us to advise a huge variety of clients on their design enquiries. Moreover, understanding when to pursue design protection in addition, or as an alternative to, filings for patents or trade marks is critical.
