We’re experts in IP strategies and processes (legal advice and execution), contractual and corporate advice relating to IP, patent application and portfolio management, plus IP protection and litigation. Our refreshingly different, integrated approach makes Barnes IP stand out from the crowd.

Patenting

PATENTING

At Barnes IP, we not only bring market-leading legal expertise but technical and scientific training, experience and insight. Our patent attorneys are experts in securing patent rights globally; quicker than many of the traditional firms.

Registered designs

REGISTERED DESIGNS

It isn’t enough just to focus on the finished product. We believe the protection of designs – whether the appearance of the whole or a part of your product – can play an important part in your commercial growth and success.

Trade marks

TRADE MARKS

Protecting your brand is one of the cornerstones of a robust IP strategy. That’s why we help many of our clients, including start-ups, SMEs and multinationals, in a wide range of industries, to protect their brands and trademark portfolios.

Trade secrets

TRADE SECRETS

We could say that our advice in this field is a trade secret… but we think that understanding the difference between how to protect IP rights and trade secrets is an often overlooked – and vitally important – area of expertise.

IP enforcement, litigation & defence

IP ENFORCEMENT, LITIGATION & DEFENCE

Facing IP litigation and defence can be an unwelcome distraction; at Barnes IP we want to free you up to carry on with growing your business, knowing you have an expert team fighting your corner.

IP legal services

IP LEGAL SERVICES

Understanding the legal ways in which IP rights can be bought, sold and licensed can be a bit of a minefield without an expert legal team on your side.

IP transactions and due diligence

IP TRANSACTIONS & DUE DILIGENCE

We provide a comprehensive due diligence service, ensuring you can be confident when making decisions about a particular company, product or service.

Brand management

BRAND MANAGEMENT

We can help your brand reach the right audience, with a range of creative strategies to deliver your big ideas.

Our clients value our integrity and understanding of what they’re trying to achieve, both at a scientific and commercial level.

Often our clients fear they won’t be able to protect their IP without burning money and wading through a complicated disconnect between the law and commercial practicalities; we work hard to take this worry away. We consider ourselves to be on a journey with our clients; we’re committed to being there for the long-haul, finding ways to make things possible, even if others say it can’t be done.

"What you're ideally looking for when you work with an IP attorney is a team that has a deep understanding of the domain you're in, is diligent in exploring the opportunities for protecting your IP, but is also dead practical in their advice. Barnes IP is all those things and more. They are also just a bunch of lovely and efficient folks to work with."
