Helping You Navigate Contentious IP & Litigation

Contentious Proceedings

We are experienced in helping our clients navigate contentious patent, trade mark and design proceedings, providing timely and expert support and guidance. We have assisted clients based in the UK, US and globally.

EPO Opposition & Appeal Proceedings

We have years of experience in handling European Patent Office (EPO) opposition and appeal proceedings, including attending EPO hearings in Munich, with a track record of success.

UPC Proceedings

We were one of the first UK patent attorney firms to represent clients before the Unitary Patent Court (UPC). We have the advantage of being UK-based and English-speaking, with this being the most widely used language in the UPC system.

UK Court & UK IPO Proceedings

Our team includes IP Patent Litigators with representation rights before the UK Courts for contentious patent, trade mark and design proceedings. We have significant experience in respect of patent and trade mark proceedings before the UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO).

Infringement, Revocation, Defence & Entitlement Actions

We have experience in representing our clients in IP infringement, revocation, defence and entitlement actions in the UK and Europe. Key to our approach is working within our clients’ budgets during complex proceedings.

Dispute Resolution

Our attorneys are skilled in dispute resolution and mediation, bringing the right blend of knowledge, experience, listening and advocacy skills to the table. Our aim is always to resolve a matter as quickly as possible, without having to resort to litigation.
