Advances in technology, telecommunications and media have changed our lives significantly over the last 30 years. Our thirst for data shows no sign of being quenched as we look for more content, more quickly on our computers, tablets and mobile devices. The constant desire for more, readily available content means that this is a sector where technology is constantly evolving. Our attorneys have the expertise and experience to understand this sector from both a technological and commercial perspective. This means that we can provide robust and informed IP procurement, guidance and enforcement strategies in addition to straightforward, commercially focused advice in an environment which does not stand still.
IP Protection for Blockchain
Since Satoshi Nakamoto’s white paper was published in 2008, the uses for blockchain technology have exploded into a diverse range of subject areas rich with ideas and innovation — and this shows no signs of slowing down.
Smart contracts which control, maintain and transfer ownership of real-world assets can be automatically executed. Decentralised rewards can be earned by solar energy producers. The Internet of Things ecosystem is extending to direct communication between smart devices. The versatility and decentralised nature of blockchain technology is being constantly demonstrated, and its set of new and innovative use cases will only expand further.
Our specialist blockchain practice has filed and prosecuted hundreds of patent applications relating to blockchain technology worldwide, so we’re well-placed to help you identify and protect your blockchain-related inventions.
IP Protection for Electronics, Infrastructure and Hardware
Electronics is relevant to almost everything across the western world. The sector has experienced significant growth over recent years, and is about to develop further.
IP protection for Software
Software development is inherently creative as reflected by the variety of software-specific IP opportunities and threats. The different business models, from Open Source to Closed Source, and competitors ranging from this week’s start-up to established titans, affects greatly what is best for you.

IP protection for XR (Extended Reality)
The possibilities unlocked by XR technologies appear to be endless. We’re seeing an enormous amount of innovation across the reality-virtuality continuum — virtual reality (VR) gaming is gaining popularity and becoming more affordable to consumers, augmented virtuality (AV) is seeing extensive R&D and augmented reality (AR) is spreading into the public sphere through health tech, wearables and apps. Being proactive about protecting your intellectual property allows you to gain a commercial advantage in such a fast-moving and cutting-edge area of technology.
Our aim is to provide prompt advice which is tailored to your needs and which is in plain English.
