Computer and Video Games

Manches Technology and Intellectual Property team have worked in the computer and video games industry for nearly ten years - a long time in such a young industry. We are proud to say that we work with clients at every level of the industry, from platform owners to small games developers, publishers to rights holders.

We have in-depth industry focused experience of drafting games publishing and development agreements, arrangements concerning the supply and receipt of goods and services (such as component supply and manufacturing facilities) and consumer and retail arrangements. Our team has worked closely with interactive entertainment designers and publishers on all the steps necessary to bring products to the market.

In addition to our expertise in the commercial contracts in the industry, our team is made up of specialists who can advise on the ownership of intellectual property rights and on the commercialisation of intellectual property rights. This includes advising on general licensing issues, confidentiality arrangements and overall protection strategies in both trade mark prosecution, protection and anti-piracy/anti-counterfeiting issues.
