Our firm started in its present form in 1966, though its origins were many years earlier, and it has absorbed other practices of even longer standing.

Our clients range from major industrial concerns both in U.K. and abroad through medium-sized manufacturers, to individual inventors, some of whom have achieved considerable success through wise use of their patent portfolios.

In November 2007 we moved offices to Staple Court in Staple Inn Buildings.  Appropriately enough, Staple Court used to form part of the UK Patent Office before it was relocated to the new British Library.  For a map of our new location which is immediately adjacent Chancery Lane tube on the Central Line, please follow the link in the frame to the left hand side of this page.

We are pleased to report that we are offering one of the lowest rates in Europe for filing a European patent application based on a PCT application. Our rate is fixed no matter what the scale of the official fees. Please contact us for more details.
