Our ‘two firms – one team’, will not only provide an overview of the patent landscape in the UK, we will also cover the following topics:

  • A roundup of this year’s most notable patent cases and developments. We give you the key takeaways in healthy (but delicious) portions.
  • Innovative companies pay to file and maintain portfolios – we will look at commercial and litigation strategies for creating leverage and getting value back from your portfolio.
  • Developments and trends in licensing – Only 50% of all patented inventions in the UK are used by their applicant; but almost 20% of UK patents are licensed. We will guide you through the issues we are seeing.
