Withers & Rogers LLP

Exhibitor

Withers & Rogers is one of Europe’s largest dedicated intellectual property law firms, with key offices in London, Paris and Munich. Established over 140 years ago, we remain as passionate as ever about making intellectual property work to our clients’ best advantage. Today, our clients include many renowned, innovative organisations from across Europe, North America and Asia.

We have four specialist practice groups, namely Advanced Engineering; Electronics, Computing & Physics; Life Sciences & Chemistry and Trade Marks, which include around 80 IP professionals. Client strategy and commercial objectives form the core of our advice - we do not just focus on the technical side. We strive to demonstrate how intellectual property can be utilised in the fulfilment of business goals, whether we are filing a single patent for an inventor, providing patent attorney reports for investors in major corporations or in conjunction with Stock Market and Alternative Investment Market listings, or working with in-house counsel.

We are market leaders in the drafting and prosecution of patent applications and in oral proceedings (hearings) in both opposition and appeal procedures at the European Patent Office. We act extensively before the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office, the French and German Patent & Trade Mark Offices, and the European Patent Office. Our contentious practice team has significant experience of conducting litigation in the UK and German courts and jointly with attorneys in other European jurisdictions, in particular in France.

We also have experience of advising clients on implementing working strategies to maximise commercial gain from inventions, while keeping costs to a minimum.

A number of our clients also require us to be flexible in our approach to handling their portfolios, including maintaining their own databases for them.

With attorneys fluent in most of the official European languages (English, French and German), we are ideally positioned to work with, and regularly visit, different sites across Europe.
