Universities – patent & trade mark attorneys

We understand the pressures that higher education establishments face, especially with regard to time and financial constraints, and the subsequent need for flexibility and bespoke commercial advice.

Our university clients utilise and value the full breadth of our services, ranging from the drafting, filing and prosecution of patent applications through to assisting with spinouts and freedom to operate matters. We are used to working within budget constraints and managing client portfolios for maximum cost and time efficiency.

• Queen’s University Belfast;

We also work with several prominent international universities, such as:

As part of our work with these institutions, we regularly liaise with technology transfer managers and leading academics, both in the UK and overseas.
