“Gill Jennings & Every is one of the most trusted UK IP firms for patent prosecution and portfolio management work in Europe.  The firm covers a range of technical fields such as biotechnology, computer technology, chemistry and electronics.  It prides itself on bringing IP commercialisation to the forefront of IP protection advice.  To supplement its traditional services, the firm launched a new service called ConsultIP.  Lucy Samuels, Robert Skone James, Peter Arrowsmith, Arnie Clarke, Michael Lord, John Jappy and Stephen Haley are notable European patent attorneys in the firm.  Lord and Haley are managing partners while James is the chairman of the firm.  Samuels and Clarke are highly recommended for EPO proceedings.

The senior patent attorneys are supported by a team of associates and technical assistants.  Mark Aldred is among the rising stars in the firm.  Matthew Hoyles and Heather Scott, both of whom were recognised as rising stars in previous editions of IP STARS, are now partners in the firm.  Patent case studies show the firm’s clients include Aptevo Therapeutics, Karus Therapeutics, BlackBerry, SmartKem and Xerox.”
