Following many years in our Munich office, I have returned to our London office where I am now based. I regularly attend oral proceedings at the EPO before the first-instance Examining and Opposition Divisions and before the Boards of Appeal. I have experience of handling inventions in a broad range of technical fields, including telecommunications, software and network/internet-based systems, handling operational data from wind power plants, microelectronics, inductive charging systems, printing technologies, industrial robots and controllers, computer/processor systems, SoC technologies and related architecture, general electronics and electronic circuitry, upstream technologies in the oil and gas industry, motor controllers, and mechanical devices.My principal activities include the drafting and prosecution of UK, European and International patent applications, representing clients in examination and opposition oral proceedings at the EPO, the preparation of validity and infringement opinions, and the provision of strategy advice for patent-portfolio development and management.My clients include large multinational corporations and IP attorney firms from various jurisdictions, as well as smaller companies and individuals. I am a regular visitor to Japan and the USA.
