Martin’s expertise covers the full range of IP rights: patents, trade marks, designs and copyright. This also includes the protection of goodwill and business and individual reputation. He has helped clients bring and defend cases in the UK courts, UK Intellectual Property Office as well as the Company Names Tribunal and using Nominet’s dispute resolution service. He also has experience of applying for and resisting applications for interim injunctions, where urgent advice is needed. His approach is practical and solution driven; for example, using mediation to reach a negotiated settlement without the need to go to court and where the settlement terms can include outcomes that wouldn’t be achievable in court. Martin also supports clients and colleagues with transactions that involve IP rights, such as sharing IP through collaboration and licensing arrangements (often with multiple parties involved and in different jurisdictions).
