Our Difference

High quality drafting and prosecution:
We use proprietary software to analyse the European Patent Register – in addition to improving the quality of our work we can reduce risk by identifying and avoiding issues that have caused others to lose rights.

Quality control is a key part of our procedures – we monitor our timeliness, and our work is rigorously checked for errors before it is filed.

We are always working to improve the quality of our work – we care about every detail. Quality is a journey not a destination.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

Fixed, transparent fees:
Everyone hates it, but the cost of getting a European Patent Attorney to do something is usually a mystery. We hate it too – so we will tell you the cost of any work we do before we do it. We don’t invoice by ambush.

No alarms and no surprises

— Radiohead

We speak human:
There’s no point to automatic jargon packed advice that can’t be understood, and no Examiner is ever persuaded by a bot. Why try to imitate robots when they lack social skills?

We don’t pretend to be machines – instead we work hard to make our work easy to read and to understand.

Clarity is no accident – it takes time, effort, and sometimes multiple rewrites to compose a good sentence. But the extra effort is worth it. The result is that you get clearer advice, and our work is more effective at shepherding applications to grant.

It’s more fun to talk with someone who doesn’t use long, difficult words but short, easy words like “What about lunch?”
