Jennie Cox

Jennie handles a broad range of subject matter, including industrial and consumer chemistry, materials and mechanical inventions. She has particular expertise in semiconductor materials and semiconductor device fabrication, personal healthcare products, laundry technology, pigments, contact lenses, catalysts, medical devices, and polymer manufacture and applications. Jennie is highly experienced in prosecuting patent applications at the European Patent Office and at the UK Intellectual Property Office, as well as having extensive experience of drafting and filing new patent applications and subsequently managing worldwide prosecution of patent families. Jennie also handles opposition and appeal proceedings at the EPO, both defending client’s patents and opposing patents of her client’s competitors. A key focus of Jennie’s practice is to work closely with clients to develop IP strategies to suit their specific commercial objectives.

Before joining Carpmaels & Ransford in 1999, Jennie studied chemistry at Imperial College, London, graduating with a first-class degree. Her PhD in surface chemistry focused on the growth of organic semiconductor materials on III-V and II-VI semiconductor substrates and their characterization using surface sensitive techniques.

Away from the office, Jennie is a governor at a hospital school and an assistant coach at her local athletics club and tries, when time permits, to continue her love of running and mountain walking.
