I advise on the preparation, filing and prosecution of patent applications in the UK, Europe and worldwide. I work with clients of all sizes from start-ups to large global organisations.I have technical experience across a variety of practice areas, including artificial intelligence/machine learning, distribution of digital content, blockchain, solid state physics, computer interfaces, scientific instrumentation, medical devices and telecommunications. I enjoy working on technologies in the aerospace sector, including satellite technologies, spacecraft propulsion and launch vehicles, and I also have particular interest and expertise in handling applications and patents directed toward “non-technical” subject-matter, including presentations of information and business methods.I was awarded the best mark in Europe for patent drafting in the European Qualifying Examination, and have been recognised as a “Rising Star” by Managing Intellectual Property, IP Stars publication (20••••22).
