Intellectual Property Infringement
The ISOLAS Intellectual Property team has extensive experience in all aspects of Intellectual property rights, whether in relation to trademarks, copyrights, domain names or otherwise. ISOLAS frequently advise clients on all types of IP matters and have particular expertise in cases of IP rights infringement.
The most common cases of infringement we currently deal with are cases of IP infringement relating to trademarks, online content and domain names. Given that the domain name market is so active we are constantly involved in advising our clients on how to stay clear of infringement in this area. There is also a highly sophisticated online gaming industry physically based in Gibraltar and as a result there have been various instances of cyber-squatting, typo-squatting, diverting traffic and other forms of bad faith or undesirable practices. There is no question that bad faith or aggressive marketing strategies lead to many cases of potential or actual infringement and related disputes, particularly as between established companies looking to stretch the boundaries of what can or cannot be done and gain a competitive advantage in their chosen marketplace.
The IP team are specialists in domain name matters and can attend to clients’ domain name disputes, infringements, recoveries and even the local registration of .gi domains, which is a bespoke process with Gibraltar specific requirements. The team is often engaged in the recovery of domain names for clients and boasts a high success rate in this regard.
The team is able to advise corporate clients on how to best develop their existing IP and brands in order to maximize their existing revenue streams and also advise how to exploit new avenues of income through the use of IP.
