Expertise

"I love IP because it enables creators to be brave in a world where it takes courage to make change. I work with clients to leverage the value of their creative and brand assets in a way that suits their business."

Rebecca works across all contentious IP but has developed a subject-matter expertise in copyright (including AI), design rights and unregistered rights. This is recognised by clients and practitioners who come to her to seek advice, training and thought leadership in this area. Rebecca is experienced in advising claimants and defendants in both issued and pre-action disputes including:

  • Representing a UK sea and surf clothing brand in issued trade mark infringement proceedings against a competitor product.
  • Defending a contemporary furniture designer in issued proceedings for design right and copyright infringement.
  • Representing a premium UK soft toy designer in issued registered design right proceedings against a supermarket lookalike product.
  • Defending a website designer in issued High Court proceedings for copyright infringement.
  • Advising a FMCG retailer on the copyright implications of using AI generated images in packaging design.
