Protect Your Brand, Creations and Commercial Edge
Your intellectual property; your branding, creative content, inventions, or confidential information, is often your most valuable asset. So when someone misuses it, copies it, or challenges your ownership, you need legal advice that’s fast, strategic and grounded in commercial reality.
At Enterprise Legal, we help businesses and professionals across Australia resolve intellectual property disputes quickly and decisively. Whether you’re enforcing your rights or defending yourself from an infringement claim, we guide you through the process with clarity, confidence and a focus on outcome, not complexity.
We offer fixed or capped fees wherever possible, including for cease and desist letters, IP protection strategy, and early-stage dispute resolution.
Common Intellectual Property Disputes We Handle
We regularly assist clients with disputes involving:
- Trademark infringement or misuse of business names
- Copyright disputes over written, visual or digital content
- Misuse of confidential information by ex-employees or business partners
- Breach of IP clauses in licensing or supply agreements
- Disputes over IP ownership after joint ventures, partnerships or employment
- Passing off or misleading use of branding
- Domain name and social media handle conflicts
- Improper use of franchised materials or unlicensed reproduction
These issues often arise between competitors, collaborators, or within internal teams. We take a commercially realistic approach to resolving the issue, without unnecessary escalation.
Strategic IP Dispute Resolution
Every IP dispute is different and often, the best solution isn’t litigation. We help clients:
- issue or respond to cease and desist letters
- negotiate licensing, assignment or coexistence agreements
- respond to claims from third parties or aggressive rights holders
- resolve disputes over IP ownership in employment, contractor or partnership settings
- enforce branding and content rights under the Australian Consumer Law
- take urgent action to stop reputational or commercial damage
We also act for franchisors, consultants and developers, where intellectual property is central to business value. See our Franchising and Business Documents pages for related services.
Proactive Protection
Many IP disputes arise because key documents; like licensing agreements, employment contracts, or confidentiality deeds; weren’t drafted properly in the first place. If you’re looking to prevent disputes before they arise, we can help you:
- strengthen existing contract clauses
- document ownership and usage rights clearly
- register trademarks or advise on copyright licensing
- set up internal IP use policies or brand enforcement strategies
