ABOUT GRANT PHILPOTT
I provide independent, impartial advice on technological innovation and its protection, helping clients, whether investors or companies, to understand and leverage the value of their IP. A particular focus involves the development and implementation of IP strategy. I joined TTN following a successful 32 years at the European Patent Office (EPO), culminating my career as COO. At the EPO I gained extensive experience of European and other patent grant processes across a broad range of technologies. I was directly involved with the development and implementation of strategy and interacted widely with the European and global patent system stakeholder community. For a number of years I was at the forefront of ensuring the EPO\'s stable and predictable approach to software patenting and am particularly interested in contributing to the successful transition of the patent system from hardware to software innovation. I was also chair of the EPO\'s working group on Standards Essential Patents (SEPs) and a member of the committee for the European Qualifying Examination for patent attorneys (A and B papers).I am a volunteer mentor with Creative Destruction Lab (CDL), a global startup program for seed-stage, science-based companies. Prior to the EPO I managed the Brazilian subsidiary of a German \"Mittelstand\" company for 3 years, and was an engineering officer in the British Army for 9 years.
