Venner Shipley on Patents A company’s innovations and inventions can be their most valuable assets and they need to be protected accordingly. Patents can do much more than just protect a single invention. With our experience and expertise, we can devise a patent strategy to maximise the commercial advantages your invention can provide. Experience Venner Shipley has over 60 years of experience offering companies and individuals comprehensive advice and services relating to all aspects of patents, including obtaining patent protection, advising on potential patent infringement (both by our clients and of our clients’ rights), challenging third parties' patent rights on behalf of our clients and defending our clients’ rights against such challenges. We also prepare licence agreements and assignments, due diligence reports and carry out infringement clearance searches before the launch of new products. We have extensive experience in opposition and appeal proceedings before the European Patent Office, as well as experience of assisting in patent litigation in the United Kingdom and overseas. Expertise The creation of a patent requires an understanding of both the technology behind the invention and specialist legal expertise. We have qualified Chartered and European patent attorneys from diverse academic backgrounds, with graduate and postgraduate qualifications in all of the major scientific and technical disciplines. They have also gained further expertise through working on patents at the cutting edge of technology. Our attorneys practise before the UK Intellectual Property Office, the European Patent Office and the International Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organisation. They also provide advice and services relating to patents all over the world through our international network of patent experts.
