The European IP Solutions Firm.
We’re a full-service pan-European intellectual property law firm.
Since 1975, we have delivered exceptional solutions for US-based clients seeking to protect their IP across the UK, Europe, the Americas and Asia.
Searches, filing, prosecution, EP validations, renewals, portfolio management – our specialist patent, trademark and design attorneys offer the full range of coordinated IP services.
We help you bridge the gap between US and European IP strategies, safeguarding your innovations globally.
We protect: innovation across the UK & Europe
Our experts work with US corporations, emerging SMEs, law firms and in-house counsel who need a trusted partner for their UK and European IP.
We can help you navigate the differences between US and European IP systems. Our attorneys have deep experience prosecuting US-originating patent and trademark cases, and the team also routinely advises on Unitary Patent and UPC strategy.
With first-hand industry insight, our experts can protect rights across life sciences, technology, chemistry, luxury goods, retail and much more.
We give you a single European point of contact, ensuring a cohesive, coordinated, commercially-focused approach – however complex your portfolio.
