Our practice groups bring together FRKelly's experts in a wide variety of fields including Trade Marks, Engineering, Life Sciences, Computing & Electronics and Designs & Copyright.

The trade mark group can help you select the most appropriate brand for your business as well as advise on whether a trade mark can be used and whether it can be registered to prevent others from using it. We can carry out searches in Ireland and around the world and look after all stages of the process, from application through to registration. We can also advise on domain name disputes and on passing-off.

Our patent agents can advise on whether your invention is suitable for patent application. They will guide you through the entire process from drafting a strong patent specification through to obtaining granted patents to achieve the optimum level of protection in a range of countries which suits your budget and your business needs. We have a broad range of technical expertise which means that whatever your area of technology, we'll provide perceptive and informed advice on patentability and infringement in a way you'll understand.

We can also answer all your queries regarding design rights and copyright and help you protect your intellectual property interests. We can advise on the best way to protect your designs; either through the registration of design rights or by combining those rights with other forms of protection.
