One of the pleasures of my job is that I’m always seeing something new and get to deal with a large amount of technical subject matter and a wide variety of legal challenges.

My particular experience lies in filing and prosecuting patent and design applications worldwide for mechanical subject matter. I turn my hand to so many different things  – I work across the board on anything from plumbing connectors to carpet-making machines, solar panels to wind turbines and even on toilet cubicles for aeroplanes!

The task of writing the patent specification is a real challenge that I enjoy. Sitting down and talking to inventors, discussing ideas and reviewing samples is one of the best things about my job.

I work with a wide variety of start-ups and smaller businesses that often require commercial guidance and support. I like to get to know my clients, communicate with them clearly and explain exactly what I can do for them. A good understanding of their business interests helps to identify what they really need from their patent.

Recent experience

Successfully concluded Opposition and Appeal proceedings at the EPO by having the patent revoked.

Assisting a client with building a patent and design portfolio for major funding rounds.

Challenging a third party patent on behalf of a client resulting in a favourable commercial settlement.
