Intellectual property

At Kiteleys Solicitors, we know out client's have good ideas however, they may not always know how to protect them from others making, using or selling those inventions without permission. One of the most common ways of ensuring that you are the only person who gains benefit from your invention is to take out a patent.

An invention may be suitable for patenting if it is capable of being made or used in some kind of industry. Quite obviously, it must be a new idea; we can conduct searches on your behalf to ensure your idea has not already been registered. It is imperative that you do not reveal your idea before you apply for a patent.

When you apply for a patent you will be making your technical information public. Once one has been obtained it is your responsibility to defend it. As well as helping you register your patent, we can offer assistance in stopping a rival using your invention.

Patenting is just a small area of protecting ideas. We can also offer advice in adopting and applying for a trademark so that you can distinguish your goods and services from others in the market place. Alternatively, if your idea does not relate to how something works and is more concerned with the way a product looks, we can offer assistance in protecting your design.

Remember, if you do not look after your intellectual property rights you are giving your competitors a free reign to benefit from your hard work. Contact us to ensure that the only person who can benefit from your initiative is you.
