Nick Widdowson Email & Phone Number

I am a European and Chartered (UK) patent attorney with a broad practice that includes patent drafting, prosecution, oppositions, freedom to operate and due diligence. I represent clients from start-ups to household name multinationals in sectors that range from consumer electronics to heavy machinery. I have a particular interest in the MedTech sector.Integral to my approach is the desire not just to provide services as and when required, but to develop deep and lasting relationships with my clients. This puts me in a better position to anticipate their needs and to be ready to offer solutions, sometimes before issues are even apparent.I take a pragmatic and commercially-focused approach to advising on intellectual property matters. IP is a vital cog in the machine of any business. Understanding how that cog interacts with the other components in a client's business means there is much greater scope for adding value.One highlight of my role in recent years has been to work closely with Cambridge-based start-ups to build IP portfolios from the ground up, generating millions of pounds in pre-revenue value.I also particularly enjoy advocacy in Oral Proceedings. I have advocated for some of the world's most well-known enterprises, defending their patents and opposing their competitors'.Client feedback provided to Managing Intellectual Property's IP STARS publication for 2018 reads:'“Nick Widdowson has a clear understanding of our portfolio requirements and business strategy and advises in a very precise manner at all times,” a client notes. Another client adds that Widdowson impresses with his “high attention to detail and thorough job” during prosecution.'
