Having obtained work experience in both trade marks and patents, I decided the varied, commercial and fast-paced nature of trade marks was a perfect fit for me. I am now a Partner in the trade mark team at Boult.
I work on a wide range of trade mark portfolios with particular experience in telecommunications, financial services, pharmaceuticals and a variety of consumer goods. I am particularly skilled at clearance searching and developing strategies to enable brand owners to secure trade mark registrations and safely launch new products.
I also have extensive experience with UKIPO contentious proceedings, including oppositions, invalidity and non-use revocation actions. I frequently negotiate co-existence agreements and find pragmatic and amicable solutions to disputes for our clients.
The wide array of cases that we work on every day at Boult is at the heart of what I love about this role. Having spent several years of my career seconded in-house I have a strong commercial understanding of managing global brand portfolios from the client perspective.
