It is important to safeguard IP in your business. Failure to safeguard IP could likely result in loss of monopoly rights and goodwill in the market place.
There are various strategies that can be used to enforce or protect your IP rights. At the start of a matter it is in your best interest to explore opportunities to avoid a court process.
In the event an early settlement cannot be achieved your matter will be dealt at the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court. Intellectual Property disputes operate a bifurcated procedure where initially the judge will determine if IP is infringement before considering the level of damaged caused due to the infringement.
An opportunity to settle a dispute is always open to parties at each stage of an IP litigation.
A proportion of the legal fees spent on a case may also be recovered by the winner of a case in IPEC from the losing party up to a cap that is presently £50,000 for the costs of a case on liability.
