Chemistry and Materials
We have extensive experience in the diverse fields of chemistry and materials. Our team of professionals work with a wide range of clients from the commercial and academic sectors. We have advised individuals, start up companies, universities, university spin offs, SME's and multi nationals in protecting their inventions and developments and in gaining market share in the face of competitor intellectual property.
Our team includes a number of attorneys with expertise in the area, some having worked in-house at major industrial companies. We have worked in a broad spectrum of technologies within the area, including medical and pharmaceutical chemistry, agrichemicals, petroleum chemistry, catalysts, polymers, nanotechnology, food chemistry, brewing technology, personal and home products, photographic materials, alloys and materials.
We provide a full spectrum of patent services, including drafting and prosecuting, patent term extensions, advising on clearance through competitor IP and advising on litigation and European Patent Office oppositions. We can also carry out due diligence investigations to maximise the leverage of corporate IP in preparation for acquisitions, mergers, listings, funding and re-financing.
We can also advise on the possible branding of products through our trademark specialists.
We work directly in the United Kingdom and Europe, and through an extensive network of carefully chosen firms can advise around the world.
