We provide sector specific expertise and broad ranging advice covering all aspects of intellectual property rights.
Our IP practice in Cyprus collaborates with our firm’s banking & finance, corporate and commercial departments to help our clients monetise their intellectual property. This can be achieved through licensing and distribution arrangements, franchising and joint ventures amongst others.
We also provide advise on whether you require intellectual property protection, how best to obtain it, whether you or your competitors’ intellectual property rights are valid, whether you should litigate and how you should exploit your intellectual property rights for maximum commercial gain.
When it comes to enforcing your IP rights, our Cyprus IP lawyers work closely with our dispute resolution team should a potential infringement or dispute arise. We have over 25 years of experience in enforcing rights against counterfeiters, forgers, and copiers in Cyprus courts.
