Tom Liddemore

Patent Scientist

Tom joined Murgitroyd in September 2023 as a Patent Scientist. Originally from South London, Tom has spent the last 4 years in Leeds studying for his masters. With his knowledge of electronics and mechanics, he will be working within the Electronics Patent team.

Working as a research assistant last year involved with targeting a chemotherapy drug release, Tom also has extensive experience in nanotechnology and medical devices. He is also interested in the development of quantum computers in the patent space alongside quantum technology and believes that this could be the next area that produces large quantities of patents.

Whilst he is in the early stages of his career, he is excited to get to work and have a big impact within the patent space, as well as producing the best results for his clients with confidence and efficiency.
