In general, the UK profession has, in parts, sought to address this by going to the next legally comfortable market they could find - litigation. This is comfortable because it is legal. However, we have taken a different tack. The future is in the commercial sector where patents matter on a continuing basis. The way we are positioning ourselves is, we believe, unique in Europe. A commercially driven legal firm that is creative with and for our clients in making IP work for the bottom line from day one.” “...we leverage our experience and knowledge to ensure that our clients’ patents withstand scrutiny and are meaningful in reaching business goals.” Leading Engineering Patent Attorney of the Year, United Kingdom
