Helping you take your ideas further.

We're a boutique intellectual property firm for makers, manufacturers & technology companies, specialising in protecting & commercialising engineering technologies.

What we do

We’re about boots on the ground, not names on the door.

We do things differently. We believe in simple and streamlined processes. In using systems that allow us to move quickly. And in technology that makes IP more tangible.

We know good work is built on good relationships, so that's our focus. We’re as comfortable advising stakeholders as we are talking product design with engineers.

We're all about the gritty, technical parts of intellectual property.

Our core services lie at the intersection of IP and the physical sciences. From individual inventors to large corporates, we can offer expertise in navigating your IP in a genuinely personalised way.

IP Procurement

Portfolio Management

Centralised strategic input on, and local management of, global IP portfolios. Harmonisation of prosecution across multiple jurisdictions. Targeting and maximisation of value from existing portfolios. Identification of portfolio gaps bracketing opportunities.

Commercialisation

If you’re looking for a fresh approach, you’re in the right place.

We leave old-fashioned conventions behind. You won’t find paper files here. No disbursements for printing or office supplies. No letters attached for the sake of formality, because nobody likes opening an attachment to read what could have been in an email.

Our clients choose us as much for our pragmatic approach as for our technical & legal expertise.
