Group manager: Alex Turnbull

The group has wide ranging experience in drafting and prosecuting patent applications in the medical device, aeronautical, automotive and packaging sectors.  Much of our success has been before the UK and European Patent Offices.

We have a mix of experienced attorneys with many years in the profession as well as younger members who have recent “in-house” experience in IP management or research.

Our work includes a number of technologies which have attracted the attention of mainstream media in recent times.  No stranger to high value portfolios, our team have built exploitable patent portfolios for clients whether for defensive, offensive or cross-licensing business models.
