Intellectual Property
Protecting the ideas, names and designs your business depends on
If your product, brand or process is what customers pay for, it should be owned by the company, registered where it matters, and licensed on your terms.
How we work
Registration and ownership: Trade marks filed, and IP properly assigned to the company from founders, contractors and employees before an investor asks.
Licensing and enforcement: Licence agreements that earn revenue, and a firm, proportionate response when someone copies you, starting with a letter rather than a claim.
Filings and standard licences are fixed fee, quoted in writing before we begin.
Our team
Six senior lawyers. The one you meet on day one stays on your matter to the end.
Testimonials
Northgate quoted our shareholder agreement in writing before they started. The final bill matched it.
Maya Ellis
Founder, software company
A supplier dispute had dragged on for a year. Northgate settled it in six weeks, without a court date.
Tom Vidal
Owner, logistics company
The same partner handled our lease, our fundraise and our acquisition. Northgate never passed us down the line.
Helen Marsh
CEO, manufacturing group
Our Series A closed on time because Northgate turned every document round the same day.

Co-founder, fintech
