How do you help clients?
I help clients achieve the best possible patent protection for their inventions in the UK and overseas. This starts with pre-application discussions to determine a client’s vision for the future of their invention, product, or business.
When a client’s European patent is opposed, I handle this procedure before the Opposition Division at the European Patent Office, and if necessary, before the Boards of Appeal.
I keep a commercial eye on a client’s patent portfolio, to make sure it works for them.
Third party interests can be a concern, and I also advise clients on third party rights and freedom to operate. In cases where a third party has gained a patent that may interfere with a client’s business, I can advise my client on potential courses of action and, in the case of a European patent, oppose the patent of concern.
