I am a European and UK patent and trade mark attorney working in private practice in the UK. I act for a wide variety of clients, from individuals to universities and multinational corporations, managing IP portfolios, drafting and prosecuting patent, trade mark and design applications.Having previously worked as an engineering manager in manufacturing industry, developing and introducing new products, I have a deep understanding of the client's viewpoint, and a clear practical idea of what IP rights can (and cannot) do. My goal is to provide advice which is clear and understandable, giving options which ensure that the client remains in control.Specialties: I draft and prosecute general, mechanical and chemical patents before the UK and European patent offices and, through a network of associates, in many countries including the US, China, Japan, India, Australia, Mexico, Russia and Canada (and not forgetting one case in Kazakhstan!). I file and prosecute trade mark applications in the UK, Europe and internationally through the Madrid Protocol, and act in oppositions, invalidity and revocation actions.
