Partner Edd Cavanna and Technical Assistant Daniel Speed have written an ‘Expert Analysis’ chapter for the inaugural Global Legal Insights Special Report – Quantum Computing 2026.
Their article, “IP in the quantum industry: a global perspective on patent procurement,” highlights how the rapid innovation in the field of quantum has triggered notable growth in the intellectual property ecosystem, and how a robust framework for IP protection is essential for the viable commercialisation of the technology. They analyse the varying jurisdictional approaches to patent law, including how each countries’ legal body assesses the patentability of quantum technology, both hardware and software, and how this should inform an applicants’ strategy when drafting and prosecuting patent applications.
The Global Legal Group publishes their Global Legal Insights series to provide readers with a detailed analysis of current multi-jurisdictional issues affecting laws and regulations in specific fields.
