Intellectual Property Rights

Protecting your most valued achievements is our forte.

The KEMP IP team mission is to free up our clients to focus on their next success story.

We understand that patents and trademarks are about more than financial protection – they reflect years of innovation, brand development and customer loyalty, built through our clients’ hard work.

We are experienced in all classes of IP (patents, copyright, trademarks and designs) protection, enforcement and exploitation of IP rights – and commercial transactions relating to innovative products in Asia, Europe and North America. Our client roster includes the non-profit sector, media and entertainment, luxury fashion and transport.

From thorough technical know-how for brand clearance searches, trademark counselling, prosecution and registration, formulation of patent claims and applications, to strategic expertise in entering licensing and franchising agreements, we never stop working to ensure credit where credit is due.
