Why Do You Need a Design Rights Solicitor?

Design rights are vital for anyone creating distinctive, innovative products, graphics, and branding.

At LegaFit Solicitors, we specialize in securing your intellectual property through design rights, helping you prevent infringement, and enforcing your rights effectively. We offer comprehensive legal solutions for protecting your designs from registration to litigation.

We provide strategic legal services across all aspects of design rights, including:

At LegaFit Solicitors, We Offer Comprehensive Design Rights Legal Services

1. Design Registration & Protection

We guide you through the process of registering your designs with the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO), ensuring that your work is legally protected. Design registration gives you exclusive rights to your designs and allows you to take legal action if someone uses your work without permission.

2. Design Infringement & Enforcement

If your design rights are infringed upon, our team will take swift and effective action to stop the infringement and seek compensation for any damages. We handle all enforcement aspects, including cease-and-desist letters, negotiations, and litigation when necessary.

3. Design Licensing & Commercialisation

Our solicitors help you license your designs for commercial use, creating agreements that ensure you retain control over your work while generating revenue. We offer advice on exclusive and non-exclusive licensing, royalties, and terms that protect your designs from misuse.

4. Design Rights Litigation & Dispute Resolution

If a dispute arises over the ownership or use of your designs, our team provides expert legal representation. We work to resolve disputes through negotiation or, if needed, litigation. We aim to protect your designs and help you control your intellectual property.

5. Design Rights Audits & Strategy

We conduct thorough audits of your design portfolio to assess the strength of your design rights and ensure that all your valuable intellectual property is fully protected. We also help you develop long-term strategies to safeguard your designs, preventing potential infringements and maximizing commercial value.

If you want to protect your designs and prevent infringement, our legal team is here to help. We’ll ensure you retain full control over your intellectual property and secure your design rights.
