Our patent specialists have detailed understanding of the background technology, which ensures that your patent applications are prepared with the correct scope, reducing the likelihood of challenges from third parties and objections from the patent office.

They also advise whether other forms of protection would be more appropriate. Our brand specialists work with brand managers for leading brands and their advice is commercially focussed making sure that you get the best value from your budget.

We have an international network of attorneys we can call upon at any given time. Wherever you are based, you can regard us as the hub for your international portfolio.

We regularly handle IP rights in many more countries than the majority of UK firms, and some of our clients file in over 100 countries. With offices in London, Cambridge, Munich and The Hague, we also work with a worldwide network of independent associates. We ensure that we keep in touch with our international network and travel regularly to meet them, often at the major IP conferences.

We have no fixed affiliation with any these associates; when we look for local attorneys for our clients we look at the quality of their service, and not at the amount of business we expect them to send us in return. We generally know and work with several firms in any one territory and will match you with local attorneys depending on your local portfolio and needs.
