SKILLS
ABOUT EMMA JOHNSON
No two clients are the same, and there is no \"one size fits all\" approach to providing IP advice. I enjoy working closely with my clients, to integrate as closely as possible with their engineering, legal and commercial teams. Learning as much as possible about each client, and listening to their commercial and legal aims is extremely important to enable me to provide holistic advice tailored to their specific needs.My patent work is focussed on technology and engineering. I take pride in original drafting of patent applications for filing in the UK and Europe, and have extensive experience in prosecuting patent applications across the globe. I also have experience in post-grant procedures including oppositions, revocation actions, entitlement proceedings, and infringement proceedings. I frequently represent my clients in oral proceedings before the EPO. As a Chartered Trade Mark Attorney I am also able to help clients to obtain optimum protection for their trade marks. I advise on clearance searching, file and prosecute trade mark applications and assist clients with infringement matters.I also advise clients on registered and unregistered design protection - in relation to protecting their own designs, as well as advising them in relation to the rights of others.I also advise clients in relation to transactions and due diligence; advising on strategy, preparing agreements and facilitating negotiations.
