Owen regularly advises on IP licences and transfers, ICT agreements, registered trade mark and copyright infringements, patent validity and passing off claims and litigating and defending IP and IT disputes. Owen’s experience of advising the firm’s sports sector clients (which include professional sports people, teams and organising bodies), on their sponsorship and product endorsement deals and brand protection, licensing and exploitation has also led to him taking a role in the firm’s sport and leisure industry team.
