Patents

Patents are the currency of innovation. There are many firms you could choose to help protect your inventions. What makes us different is that we want you to feel we’re part of your business. We care about your inventions as much as you do. Whether we’re advising you on a filing strategy, drafting a patent to protect your invention in the first place, or arguing on your behalf before the European Patent Office, the UK Intellectual Property Office or other offices, we do so with the care and attention you deserve. We want to be part of your trusted team.

Our team of highly skilled attorneys are assisted by an equally skilled team of paralegals that help manage your patent portfolio worldwide, and make your life as easy as possible. We have extensive knowledge of many different types of docket systems, and, if needed, can upload data directly to your systems.

When you need help with oppositions or appeals, or the enforcement or defence of your rights before the courts, our team of opposition experts and litigators can handle all this under one roof.
