Intellectual property
Your business is unique
We’ll help you keep it that way.
Your intellectual property makes your business what it is. Let us do the necessary work to protect it.
We can help you:
- apply for and manage trade marks and design rights
- prepare licensing or assignment agreements
- define your rights as part of a merger, acquisition or collaboration
- stop competitors infringing your copyright, trade marks and design rights.
The knowledge you need to keep your IP safe
Your organisation’s brand identity, know-how and inventions are what set you apart from your competitors. Because we’re different too, we understand the value of your uniqueness. It’s why we care so much about helping you hold onto it.
We can help you put the right protections in place for your intellectual property rights, and make sure you don’t give too much away in the event of a collaboration. We’ll also make sure you reap the right rewards should you decide to licence or sell your intellectual property rights to a third party.
If you think your intellectual property rights have been stolen or used without your consent, we’re on your side too. We’re recognised by the Legal 500 for our knowledge of IP law – we really know our stuff and will fight to protect what’s legally yours.

We were dealing with both UK and Swedish law and Rebecca and her team made it as stress free as possible. We’ll definitely work with Murrell Associates again.”

In recent years we have seen the rise in cut price supermarkets and affordable retailers. Whilst many of these supermarkets fail to offer our favourite brands, it appears that they offer similar products with almost identical labelling. So how are they getting away with it?
