What is Intellectual Property Litigation?
Intellectual property litigation involves resolving disputes related to intellectual property. A dispute typically happens when someone has used your IP without permission, or disputes about the ownership of assets.
Intellectual Property (IP) is the key asset for many businesses, and IP rights can apply to the following:
- Trade marks (brand names, logos, slogans)
- Copyrighted works (text, music, software, photography)
- Patents (new inventions or processes)
- Design rights (the appearance or shape of a product)
- Misuse of confidential information or trade secrets
Read our blog post to find out more about the different types and how companies can help protect their IP.
While some matters can be resolved through ADR methods like mediation, litigation (going to court) may be required when an agreement can’t be reached, or when urgent legal action is needed to stop further harm.
Our team of intellectual property litigation experts can explain your IP rights and represent you in court.

The four main types of intellectual property law are copyright, trade marks, patents, and design rights. Copyright protects original works like writing, music, or software. Trade marks cover brand names, logos, and slogans. Patents protect new inventions and processes, while design rights apply to the look and shape of a product. Each offers different protections and may require registration depending on the asset.
Is intellectual property civil litigation?
Yes, IP disputes are handled through civil litigation, usually in the High Court or Intellectual Property Enterprise Court. These cases involve enforcing or defending rights over things like trade marks or copyrighted material.
What is IP infringement?
IP infringement means using someone’s intellectual property without permission. For example, copying a logo, selling a patented product, or reproducing content. It can lead to action to stop the use and recover costs.
