PRACTICE OVERVIEW
At Wageni & Company Advocates, we are dedicated to securing and protecting the intellectual property rights of corporate and individual owners, creators and licensed users. Our extensive experience in this area allows us to provide comprehensive legal services tailored to the unique needs of each client.
OUR APPROACH
We assist individuals and companies in identifying and safeguarding their intangible assets, ensuring that these valuable resources are protected by the necessary laws. Our goal is to exclude others from using specific artistic or scientific creations, such as brands, logos, inventions, designs, software, music, paintings, photographs and literary works, for varying lengths of time. This legal protection can either arise automatically or require formal application, fostering an environment where clients can innovate without fear of infringement.
