Intellectual property (IP) is an important business asset with many organisations going to great lengths to identify, create, and protect it. Infringement and IP theft are also on the rise, making it clear that IP is a business battleground where the fight for competitive advantage is won or lost. Dundas Lawyers has experience identifying, enforcing, and defending intellectual property rights and has acted for companies to protect and defend their intellectual property rights inside and outside of the courtroom.
With a background in the creation and commercialisation of intellectual property, Legal Practice Director Malcolm Burrows understands the commercial realities faced by parties in intellectual property litigation. Dundas Lawyers, while fighting hard to advance and protect the interests of its clients, also seeks to resolve disputes in a commercial and business-savvy way, providing its clients with the best legal and commercial outcome possible. We adopt a multidisciplinary approach to strategic intellectual property litigation.
