Intellectual Property Disputes

Creations of the mind can have substantial commercial value. This intellectual property (whether it be an invention, a literary or artistic work, a design right or a brand name or image) needs to be protected.

When intellectual property is used without licence from its owner, CWD can help in obtaining an injunction to prevent the unlawful use from continuing and in the recovery of damages to compensate the owner for the period of unlawful use.

Our work before the High Court and the Patents County Court relates to all aspects of intellectual property but Stephen Taylor and David Sheahan have particular expertise in breach of copyright (both musical and literary) and in trademark infringement respectively.
