Intellectual property is a fundamental element in the creation of commercial success for most of our clients. In commissioning DCA, our clients have the option of engaging strong strategic thinking and day-to-day assistance with, or management of, intellectual property. This can range from a long-term, high-level strategy to individual project focused work, or simply ‘getting around a patent’ and helping to ensure freedom to operate.

The essential element is that our design teams can have the intellectual property needs of the project at the heart of their thinking from day one of designing the approach to the project, as well as during the creation of the product itself.

In order to achieve the sort of service that our clients demand, DCA has long-standing relationships with some of the world’s leading patent agencies and patent litigation specialists, together with knowledgeable design teams, who can work directly with your own experts in order to minimise intellectual property risk and maximise on potential intellectual property advantages.
