Cambridge

The city of Cambridge has an impressive record of scientific contributions that have been of monumental benefit to society as a whole. This includes the discovery of the structure of DNA and the conception of the Turing Machine which established the foundations of the field of artificial intelligence.

Our office of European and UK patent attorneys in Cambridge are equipped with the necessary technical backgrounds to advise on inventions in all technical fields.

Our Electronics group handles inventions embodied in both hardware and software with particular experience in telecommunications, electronic devices, artificial intelligence, cryptography, semiconductor technologies, opto-electronics, and power electronics. The Life Sciences team has a depth of knowledge in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and agricultural-technology. The Chemistry group has extensive experience with polymers, paints, organic materials for devices, materials, catalysts, fine chemicals, and petrochemicals.

The attorneys in our Cambridge office have a particular strength with working closely with clients including start-ups, leading research institutes and universities, SMEs and multinationals, to assist with the preparation and the securing of intellectual property (IP) rights as well as advising on IP strategy to support their specific commercial needs.

We build close relationships with individual inventors, CTOs and in-house attorneys in order to understand our client’s businesses and tailor our advice accordingly. The office is particularly proud of the part it has played in assisting with several clients build their IP during their journey from academic origins through significant growth and then achieving considerable investment or being acquired, with strong IP portfolios playing a crucial role in their ultimate success.

In addition to offering patent protections services, we can also advise on design rights and trade marks, and our commercial IP lawyers (solicitors) can advise on all aspects of IP related commercial matters including licensing, contracts and agreements.

In 2023, we pledged our support for the Innovate Cambridge Charter. More information can be found here.
