Intellectual Property
At Bird & Bird, we specialise in protecting, managing, and enforcing intellectual property rights across global markets. Our IP lawyers are trusted by innovation-driven businesses to secure and grow their IP portfolios, navigate complex disputes, and unlock strategic commercial opportunities.
Our team combines legal precision with real-world industry insight. Many of our specialists have held in-house roles at IP-intensive businesses and led legal work in cutting-edge technology sectors. That means we don’t just understand IP law - we understand your commercial context.
We go beyond legal protection. We partner with you to deeply understand your innovation, simplify complexity, and deliver forward-looking strategies that give your business a competitive edge. Whether it’s trade marks, patents, designs, or copyright, we ensure your IP is a catalyst - not a constraint - for growth.
Your ideas. Your assets. Your future. We help you protect and monetise them, so you can focus on what matters: building your brand, scaling your business, and staying ahead in your market.
