Intellectual Property is often a client’s most valuable asset. It is that area of business law which provides entrepreneurs an incentive to create and discover without the constant fear that their initiative could be threatened.
We seek to apply a pragmatic business approach to each client’s intellectual property matters and obtain results consistent with the client’s business needs. Our firm’s services in this field include the registration of trademarks, patents and designs within the jurisdiction of Malta; protection of trademarks within the EU; trademark, design and patent searches in local databases and registers; negotiating and drafting of confidentiality, development, distribution, technology transfer, licensing and joint venture agreements for domestic and foreign entities; advising on copyright protection as well as preparing and prosecuting domestic and foreign patent applications in all technologies.
Recent Work
The Intellectual Property team has recently been engaged by a very well known beverage maker regarding a breach of one of its trademarks by one of the main and largest local competitor in the beverage industry. Our professional team has carefully devised a detailed legal opinion in accordance to the specific circumstances of this case; thereafter the company has chosen to institute proceedings for breach which were also handled by Chetcuti Cauchi.
