PWF has experience in all aspects of intellectual property law, and clients range from multinational companies, to small start-ups and individual inventors.While at Page White and Farrer, I have worked with a variety of clients, from individual inventors and SMEs, to large multinational corporations, and across a broad range of technologies, including:audio and video coding;augmented and virtual reality systems; blockchain;cryptography;computing (software and hardware);machine learning and artificial intelligence; visible light communications; andtelecommunications.I was seconded to a client that focuses on research and development of blockchain technology, and through that experience has gained a comprehensive understanding of the technology. This opportunity has provided me with an in-depth understanding of the client’s commercial objectives, the importance of a strong patent portfolio, and the potential challenges that they face.Primarily handling patent applications in the UK, Europe and the US, I have experience of drafting and prosecuting patent applications, and also of advising on infringement issues.
