Intellectual Property Advocates and Litigation
The Internet has opened a whole new area for piracy, copyright infringement, and trademark as well as domain name disputes.
In many cases the perpetrators simply ignore legal letters and as such lawsuits may follow in which the help of advocates may be required in court.
Whether your domain name was hijacked or trademark registered by a cyber squatter, the case may not be resolved through settlement and as such you will want advocates to represent you in the high or appeal court against such companies or individuals.
This may especially be the case in international disputes since the Internet has no boundaries.
WIPO oversees international intellectual property law and you may need to take the case outside the borders of South Africa to get payment for damages.
Advocates skilled in high level litigation will be required to ensure that your intellectual property rights are defended against another party.
At the other end of the scale you may find that your patent is challenged by another company in South Africa or in another country.
You will not be able to handle the case on your own and as such will benefit from the intellectual property advocates who have years of experience in dealing with such cases.
No matter whether you require assistance in defending your intellectual property rights against a challenge or want to bring a lawsuit against an infringer, the assistance of experienced advocates will be required.
Contact us at Smit & Van Wyk today to help you in litigation of any such cases.
