Our contentious specialists provide experienced representation in oppositions, appeals, and disputes. They offer practical, outcome-driven advice grounded in extensive EPO and UKIPO experience, helping you resolve issues efficiently and protect your rights.

Contentious work demands judgement, preparation and experience. Our team handles EPO oppositions and appeals, UKIPO and EUIPO proceedings, and supports IP litigation in the UK courts. We are strategic, responsive and focused on results.

Litigation and Oppositions:

Our expertise includes IP litigation before the UK’s Intellectual Property Enterprise Court where our attorneys hold advocacy rights. We also support litigation in higher UK courts and can recommend excellent IP barristers to advocate for you. Collectively, we have many significant successes in European patent oppositions, acting for both proprietors and opponents. Our European Patent Attorneys also represent before the Unified Patent Court. Our trade mark team mirrors this success with a strong record in UKIPO and EUIPO opposition proceedings.
