Enforcement & litigation

Whether it is in an offensive or defensive action, Beck Greener has a team of IP litigators who can assist with all stages of IP enforcement and litigation. Depending on the size of the claim we can also sometimes help to build, and then work with, a specialist group of solicitors, barristers and technical experts.

We understand, though, that litigation is usually the last resort, and our commercially minded attorneys will work hard to resolve issues as cost effectively as possible. Starting with an initial review of the merits of a case, we will provide practical advice on the most appropriate steps. Sometimes a robust letter before action can be enough to induce an infringer to back down, or some tough negotiations can result in a speedy settlement.

However if the case doesn’t settle quickly, out skilled and highly successful litigators will be with you all the way, from devising a full litigation strategy through to navigating the complex paths through the IPO, the IPEC or the higher courts.
