How will we use the information?
We collect information from you that is reasonably necessary for conducting our business, providing services to you and meeting our legal and ethical obligations. If you use our services, you agree that we may use this information to provide you with professional services, to manage your account and, unless you opt out, to correspond with you about recent developments, upcoming events or other services we think may be of interest to you. While acting on your behalf, we may disclose your personal information to third parties such as IP offices, courts, government departments, barristers, expert consultants, law firms and financial consultants. This may include disclosure to entities located overseas. It is not practicable to specify those countries, as it may apply to any country or region where you want to protect/defend your IP rights.
