DHI IP
An intellectual property practice built around the value of the asset.
DHI IP provides professional and end-to-end intellectual property solutions to businesses, startups, entrepreneurs, researchers, institutions and individual innovators.
The firm assists clients in protecting, managing, commercialising and enforcing intellectual property, with support across the lifecycle of an asset: identifying what can be protected, securing registration, handling prosecution, maintaining the portfolio and advising on its commercial use.
About DHI IPThe Value of Intellectual Property
Ideas become assets only once they are defined, documented and owned.
An invention, a brand name, a piece of software, the appearance of a product: each carries value that can be protected, recorded and used commercially. Left undocumented, that value is difficult to license, to transfer, or to defend.
The work of protection begins earlier than most filings suggest. Deciding what to claim, when to disclose, and how a right will be used later shapes the strength of the protection that follows.

Each area is handled with the same emphasis on accuracy in drafting, classification and procedure.

The DHI IP Approach
Protection planned around the objective, not the form.
- 01
Understand
The innovation, the brand or the work is examined alongside the commercial objective it serves.
- 02
Assess
Searches and assessments establish what can realistically be protected and where the risks sit.
- 03
Protect
Drafting, classification and filing are prepared with precision, then carried through prosecution.
- 04
Manage
Renewals, records and portfolio decisions are tracked so rights remain usable over time.

What can be protected by a patent?
A patent protects an invention: a new technical product or process that offers a new solution to a problem. The invention generally needs to be novel, involve an inventive step and be capable of industrial application.
What does a trademark protect?
A trademark protects the marks that identify the source of goods or services, such as a name, logo, or a combination of elements used in trade.
What does design registration cover?
Design registration covers the visual appearance of an article: features such as shape, configuration, pattern or ornamentation, rather than how the article functions.
Which right applies to my work?
It depends on what is being protected: inventions, brand identity, creative works and product appearance are each covered by different rights, and a single product may involve more than one.
