Intellectual property (IP) refers to intangible assets and the rights to non-physical creations such as copyrights, trademarks, and patents. Here at Wollens, our expert team helps businesses navigate the complexities surrounding IP, offering clarity in the often grey areas of protection, management, and enforcement of intellectual property rights.
We provide comprehensive advice on the existence of IP rights, the legal mechanisms for protection, and the most effective strategies to safeguard the IP you’ve invested in. Our services include drafting agreements to maximise the commercial potential of your creativity and innovation, whether through licensing, selling, or assigning IP assets.
In cases of IP infringement, we guide clients on taking the right steps to protect their assets. Our team is skilled in mediation and negotiation, helping resolve disputes amicably to avoid the expense and time of court proceedings. If litigation is necessary, our experienced dispute resolution team is ready to represent your interests and secure your business assets through formal legal processes.
We also specialise in supporting businesses operating in the fast-evolving digital marketplace and e-commerce sector. With trends and technologies changing rapidly, our team stays updated to help you navigate this dynamic landscape effectively.
Our services extend to:

Knowledgeable and super helpful. I can’t recommend Simon highly enough. I needed quite a complicated legal agreement for a planning application at very short notice and he was really efficient and professional. From outset I felt very confident and reassured that he could get it done.
I cannot praise Wollens Barnstaple branch highly enough for excellent, professional service when selling and purchasing property. I would happily recommend them and intend using them again for further legal matters. Thank you so much Andrew Wood for making it all such a smooth and stress free process.
2nd transaction Andrew has helped us with – very easy to deal with, friendly, helpful support staff and overall good value. Would highly recommend
I was very pleased with the service provided for the recent sale and purchase of my properties. Andrew was very approachable, informative and efficient in dealing with my enquiries during the process which all helped for both transactions to go through smoothly. I would definitely recommend Wollens with no hesitation. Thank you
We had not had to seek advise on this matter before, Rhoda conducted the work in a very professional and clear way. Her work with our agent bought the matter to a very successful conclusion.
Rhoda and her team reacted to and responded to all my and the other party’s emails in a fast informed and efficient manner. Definitely a professional firm of solicitors I will use in the future.
