With the constantly-evolving nature of high-tech industries and fiercely competitive global market place, it is becoming more and more important to protect and enforce your company's IP.
We maintain a talented and highly-specialised electronics, engineering & IT team. Our attorneys and solicitors have individual expertise, typically PhD qualified, in areas including gas, electronics, engineering, software, automotive, aerospace, propulsion systems, clean technology, computing, physics, mechatronics, energy, space technologies and medical devices.
Many of our attorneys have practical experience working in academic environments, in the UK and European Patent Offices and as in-house counsel for major companies.
Our team has extensive expertise in contentious work, including EPO oppositions, as well as being at the leading edge for patent litigation. Our IP litigators are particularly known for their level-headed and effective litigation and assured case management. We are especially proud of our extensive experience before the EPO Opposition Division and Technical Boards of Appeal. We regularly handle important and valuable contentious matters both for patentee and opponent, and have developed a reputation for having one of the best opposition practices in Europe.
