Commercially valuable IP

It is my view that intellectual property should be a cornerstone of any successful business and, in particular, development of IP that is relevant to the particular commercial goals of the business. To enable this, I aim to build a close relationship with each of my clients that lets me see through their eyes, and ensure they feel I am part of the team and not just an outside counsel.

One field of particular expertise is computer-implemented inventions, including software, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, fintech, and media production and streaming. Another area in which I have vast experience is aerospace, including commercial and space aviation, propulsion, and fluid dynamics.  These are areas of constant innovation that excite me and continue to contribute to our daily lives. My practice has however covered a broad range of technologies, including telecommunications, audio technology, sensor devices, metering, and personal hygiene.

Practical advice with an international perspective

With my experience working for a large range of companies, from start-ups to multinational corporations, I am able to clearly guide my clients through the patenting process in a manner tailored to their specific experience and commercial situation. My practice in both Europe and the UK helps me provide practical advice with an international perspective, to help add value to my clients’ businesses. I take great pleasure in being able to see how patents can affect my clients’ businesses in a positive way.
