PATENTING

We help our clients protect, enforce and defend their Patent rights throughout the world.

At Harrison IP we offer high quality, commercially-aware advice, backed by each of our Attorneys’ extensive experience in patenting. We handle the full range of technical subject matter. We act for clients ranging in size from individuals, SMEs, start-up companies to large multinational companies and Universities. We help our clients protect, enforce and defend their Patent rights throughout the world.

All of our Attorneys are suitably qualified in their technical field up to degree, masters or PhD level. Several have worked in-house. We have strength and depth of knowledge allowing us to offer Attorney expertise specifically tailored to a particular technical area.

We give strategic advice on the management of client Intellectual Property portfolios with the aim of maximising the strength of the portfolio.

We understand the benefits of a team approach to ensure the best quality advice, and to allow us to deal with complex, rapidly developing and converging technology. By working in cross-disciplinary teams we provide creative solutions to issues faced by our clients.

We deal directly with the UK Intellectual Property Office, the European Patent Office, and the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO). We deal with all other patent and offices through our extensive network of associate attorneys in each country and territory throughout the world. We have extensive experience of prosecuting Patent portfolios world-wide. We have experience of Opposition and Appeal proceedings at the European Patent Office.

We will also deal directly with the Unitary Patent System once it comes into force. You can find out more about the Unitary Patent System and Unitary Patent Court here.

We seek to provide advice rather than setting out a list of possible options.

Our systems are robust, and are overseen by our formalities manager who has over 20 years experience working in Intellectual Property.
