Jake Leggat
I joined the patent team at D Young & Co as a technical assistant in 2020. I have a strong technical background in physics which I enjoy applying to the commercial aspects of my role.
Before entering the IP profession I completed a Master’s degree in physics at the University of Warwick. In my final year I specialised in condensed matter and solid state physics, completing a research project investigating how the properties of diamond make it useful for present and future quantum technologies.
Since joining the firm I have gained experience in the prosecution of UK, European and foreign patent applications for a variety of clients, including multinational corporations and academic institutions. My work covers a broad range of electrical, mechanical and IT technologies.
