We can provide strategic patent advice internationally too covering the US and Chinese markets, where we also have offices and experienced teams. Our US team can represent you at the USPTO.

Expertise

Patenting Patenting

Strength in digital technology has been at the core of EIP and our continued success since we were founded in the UK in 2000. Renowned for our experience in patent drafting and strategic patent prosecution, we have expanded our solutions to cover Life Sciences, Mechanical and Heavy Engineering and Energy. 

In addition to providing commercially-focused and straightforward advice on the multitudinous options for patent protection across the world, we offer single-firm prosecution in Europe and the USA.

Patenting Oppositions

We represent clients in person at hearings at the EPO in Munich, The Hague and Berlin and at virtual hearings to ensure the best possible outcomes.

We are also experienced at using Third-Party Observations at the EPO and WIPO to challenge patent applications before they are granted, which for some clients may be a more cost-effective manner in which to address third-party rights of potential concern.

Patenting Litigation

With teams of patent litigators in Germany and the UK we can service your needs in key national European patent litigation jurisdictions and before the UPC. Our practitioners also have experience of co-ordinating litigation in other jurisdictions, should your case require this, and successfully collaborate with our patent attorneys on each case.

Our success has been evident in a landmark victory in the UK Supreme Court which has significant implications worldwide for licensing of intellectual property in telecoms.
