Intellectual Property
Our commitment to safeguarding the ideas, technology, products, and brands of our clients defines our intellectual property practice. Working with clients across Uganda and the East African Region in various industries, we expertly handle complex IP litigation, transactions, and counselling matters. Whether they are industry leaders or dynamic startups, we assist clients in fortifying their market position and optimizing their intellectual property, reaping significant benefits from our extensive market intelligence.
Functioning as authorised agents, we support our clients in the registration of trademarks in Uganda, as well as in enforcing and prosecuting trademark claims. Within our thriving and dedicated Intellectual Property department, we manage a diverse range of tasks, including registration, renewals, assignments, due diligence, licensing, franchising, merchandising agreements, and anti-counterfeiting efforts.
Encompassing the entire spectrum of intellectual property rights, our legal services extend from registrations to responding to objections and enforcing infringements. To assist our clients in developing and implementing trademark policies, we collaborate with associated firms across Africa.
Our advisory services cover brand management, brand enforcement, patent litigation, patent prosecution, copyright, IP litigation, trade secrets, IP transactions, tax and IP advisory, and marketing, advertising, and promotions. Drawing on our extensive experience in the field, we approach intellectual property management as a strategic issue, having cultivated the people, processes, and technologies to function as a one-stop shop for safeguarding the intellectual property assets of diverse businesses.
