Mathys & Squire will be at the CIPA Congress 2026 in Manchester, United Kingdom, on 15th September.
Partner Anna Gregson and Associate Greg Jones will be attending the CIPA (Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys) Congress 2026, which will be following the theme “Durable Strategy, Enduring Value – Sustainable IP.”
Our world is currently evolving at a rapid pace, influenced by dominant factors such as AI, climate change, deglobalisation and legal developments. The question of how IP strategy can persist and preserve its value is brought to the forefront. This year, the annual congress organised by CIPA will examine how “sustainability” can be interpreted across a variety of IP contexts and perspectives through a range of insightful sessions.

She specialises in strategic patent management, including drafting and prosecuting applications, as well as coordinating patent portfolios. She enjoys immersing herself in clients’ businesses, helping them to identify ways in which their IP can add value, and has a particular eye for commercial potential, having helped supported the growth of many spinouts and university-industry partnerships.
Greg Jones has extensive experience working with a broad range of clients from individual inventors to multinational corporations, drafting and prosecuting patent applications, and managing and advising on complex patent portfolios. His expertise spans various sectors, chiefly across the mechanical, engineering, automotive and telecoms.
