Patents

We assist clients to commercially exploit their patentable products/portfolios, enforce protection proceedings against infringers, or defend against infringement claims.

Our work is typically sector agnostic, and have serviced clients within a vast array of industries, including aviation, life sciences (Pharma and MedTech), IT & telecoms, etc.

We are also routinely asked to advise companies on patent portfolios as part of corporate transactional work and the firm has a rich history in litigating patent disputes.  We work closely with patent attorneys to assist clients with any patent filings they may have at both a UK and European level.

We have advised on rights related to Standard Essential Patents, licensing terms that are FRAND compliant, and with licensing such patents under public procurement processes.
