Intellectual Property
Peachey & Co LLP has expertise in all areas of intellectual property law: including trademarks/passing off, copyright and copyleft, patent exploitation, design registration, database rights, image rights and other intangible commercial property.
We can also advise on trade secret/confidentiality issues, breach of confidence and the protection of business ideas which do not attract automatic protection or right which can be preserved by registration.
We are experienced in information technology having handled diverse matters ranging from the exploitation of new technologies and software products to their contractual protection. Specific expertise also lies in:
- royalty/licensing arrangements
- large public IT procurement projects
- software development
We have recently acted for a University technology spinout and its successive funding rounds, a €100m+ public body IT system upgrade and successfully won in the High Court a breach of confidence and infringement of copyright/database case against a UK public body.
