Intellectual Property

Your intellectual property (IP) is what distinguishes your business from your competitors. Whether it is your trade secrets, logo, inventions or creative processes, protecting your IP is vital so that it is not copied or misused. There are several ways you can mitigate this risk.

Trade Marks

The best way to protect your logo, colour scheme, slogan or even distinctive sound is by registering a trade mark. LegalVision’s intellectual property lawyers can assist you with: 

  • trade mark registrations in New Zealand and overseas;
  • defending a trade mark opposition;
  • responding to objections from the trade mark office;
  • renewing New Zealand trade mark registrations; and
  • taking steps to enforce your trade mark registration rights against third party infringers, including drafting cease and desist letters.

Patents

If you have created or invented something new and useful, a patent may protect your IP. LegalVision’s patent partner firm can step you through the process and help you prepare confidentiality agreements where needed.

Contracts

When you hire employees, suppliers or partners, there is a risk that they will take your trade secrets and processes with them when they leave. Here, well-drafted employment contracts and confidentiality agreements are essential. 

LegalVision’s experienced IP lawyers will assist you in determining the best, most cost-efficient way of protecting your intellectual property. Call us today on 0800 005 570 or complete the form on this page.
