Arun Roy

I confidently handle a wide range of electrical and mechanical subject matter and have particular expertise on obtaining patents for electronics and software inventions at the European Patent Office (EPO). Invention is creation and, as a patent attorney, I am privileged to have a role helping innovators produce, share and be recognised for their creative work in the world of technology.

My fields of experience include image processing, video games, sports tech, telecoms, medical devices, artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning, and fintech. I am an expert in navigating the often complex path to obtaining patent protection for computer-implemented inventions at the EPO.

I have many years’ experience in drafting new patent applications and helping get patent applications granted at the EPO, UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) and other patent offices around the world. This includes regularly representing clients at oral proceedings before the EPO.

I also completed a secondment in the busy in-house patents team of a blue chip company. This gave me a better understanding of the essential work in-house patent teams do. It also gave me an appreciation of the need for outside counsel to be trustworthy, proactive and adaptable to provide the best assistance they can to their clients.

I enjoy meeting and learning from new people and regularly travel overseas to build and grow relationships with clients, potential clients and professional colleagues in other jurisdictions. I also have the pleasure of hosting some of the many excellent webinars provided by the Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys (CIPA). This gives me the opportunity to meet some of the most talented people across our profession and help them share their knowledge and insights with others.
