Continuing to regularly act for universities and health boards, as well as increasingly active for media and retail companies, Blake Morgan LLP has strong public and private sector traction across a wide spectrum of intellectual property rights (IPR), including trade marks, copyright and patents. Although he also handles some advisory/commercial work (including advice on the management of large trade mark portfolios), team head Lee Fisher is best-known for his contentious work, including developing enforcement strategies and utilising injunctive relief, if necessary. Joanna Corbett-Simmons is also a formidable IP litigator who handles trade mark and design right infringements, and Sarah Whittle is particularly well-placed to advise health sector clients on IP issues, having herself spent a period on secondment at the Department of Health.
