Intellectual Property

If your practice name is distinctive and you've built goodwill in it, trademark registration provides strong protection. We can search existing trademarks and advise on registration.

Clinical protocols can be protected through confidentiality agreements, employment contracts, and careful information management. In some cases, patent protection may be available.

This depends on whether you have trademark registration, how similar the names are, and whether there's likely to be confusion. We can assess the situation and advise on your options.
