Intellectual Property Law

Intellectual property is often one of the most valuable parts of a business, whether it is a brand name, a design, or original creative work. Protecting it properly helps you make the most of what you have created.

Our intellectual property lawyers at Jal N.

If you are looking for an intellectual property lawyer in Hong Kong, our team is here to help.

Patent registration and protection

Our team manages the patent process in Hong Kong and internationally, including standard and short-term patents, searches, validity assessments, renewals, and portfolio management, working with patent agents where appropriate.

Copyright and content protection

Copyright arises automatically on creation, but enforcement requires action. Our team helps establish ownership, respond to unauthorised use, and pursue remedies such as damages, injunctions, and account of profits.

Infringement and enforcement

Our team enforces rights against trademark infringement, counterfeiting, patent infringement, and copyright piracy, using cease and desist correspondence, court applications, and customs measures against counterfeit imports.

Licensing, assignment, and agreements

Our team drafts and negotiates licensing agreements, assignments, franchising and distribution arrangements, and confidentiality agreements to help you commercialise and protect your IP.
