UK IPO Proceedings

At the UK IPO, examination of your patent application can result in a hearing. At the end of a Trade Mark Opposition, or in a dispute e.g. over patent inventorship and /or entitlement contested proceedings may similarly be heard in front of the Hearing Officer.

For all of these types of proceedings it is vital to present and argue the best case, carefully and clearly and closely aligned with the most recent law and procedures. We can take these cases,  presenting ourselves and, importantly, knowing when at other times to work directly with specialist counsel. We also provide pre-hearing advice on strategy, prospects and costs so we can plan for all eventualities.
