Intellectual Property covers the legal rights that protect creations of the mind, such as inventions, designs, brands and artistic works. A solicitor in this area helps register and protect rights, enforces them against infringement, and negotiates or drafts licenses and assignments. They may advise on patents, trademarks, copyrights, designs and related contracts, often coordinating with regulatory bodies and licensees, manufacturers or distributors to secure commercially valuable protection.
