Patents Filing and Prosecution and Disputes

We are a ‘one stop shop’ for patent prosecution and enforcement, combining a team formed of solicitors, patent attorneys and advocates. Our lawyers and attorneys work together to deliver a seamless service throughout the lifecycle of these rights from pre-launch clearance advice through to filing the application and marshalling it through to registration and on to enforcement. Our patent attorneys draft patents with a view to them being litigated one day.

We also provide general patent counselling work such as analysis portfolio review, due diligence, and advice on the management portfolios. Our patent prosecution team work hand in hand with the litigators to provide a fully integrated service to our clients. Our lawyers help clients navigate often complex and strategic issues with considered commercial advice, often employed not as standalone plans but part of a great commercial or corporate transaction or litigation case.

We provide a full suite of patent services from freedom to operate and validity opinions through to the drafting and prosecution of UK, European and Unitary Patents as well as oppositions and appeals before relevant intellectual property office.
