The pre-eminent team for medical device patent counselling anywhere in Europe

Our broad technical expertise is frequently needed to assess freedom to operate across large medical device patent portfolios.

Our continued success in opposition proceedings means that we are regularly called upon to advise clients on how to acquire enhanced patent protection in new device areas.

We are routinely brought in to take over commercially significant cases and, with our combined litigation and technical experience, to resolve disputes. We are particularly adept at advising on product extension mechanisms through the attainment of device patent protection. Put simply, our experience in the sector is unsurpassed.
