Our Services

Patent Procurement

Always Looking at the Bigger Picture but Never Losing Sight of the Detail

As a base, we draw on an extensive technical, in-house commercial and private practice IP expertise spanning more than 30 years to focus on the bigger picture, but we never lose sight of the detail which always counts. We don’t draft applications in a vacuum, nor do we operate as a siloed postbox. We always look to provide added value.

IP Valuation

Securing Financing & Validating Investment

For start-ups, pre-revenue businesses and SMEs, securing access to funding is a significant activity. We work with clients to advance IP acquisition strategies that can be leveraged to entice investment. In understanding that there is no single ‘one size fits all’ solution, we appropriately apply or blend a variety of economic analysis methods to provide each asset valuation.

IP Portfolio Development

Always Looking at the Bigger Picture but Never Losing Sight of the Detail

Whether filing your first patent application or developing an existing portfolio, we are specialists in establishing and development of IP rights. Irrespective of whether you are familiar with the IP acquisition processes or not, our professionals have decades of experience across both private practice and industrial practice across national and international stages and will guide you along this path.

IP Litigation

Building the right team for the right occasion

We fully understand that litigation, whether offensive or defensive, is unwelcome for most clients but not always avoidable. During such stressful times, our experiences and approach look to provide both support and perceptive solutions that minimize your costs whilst achieving results.

Testimonials

"With great pleasure, I remember our cooperation in various intellectual property matters whilst you were in charge for the group HUSKY of these crucial aspects for this industrial undertaking. From April 2003 and until you left the company we had regular contact and were working on one of the major intellectual property thefts ever seen. As experienced lawyer and also former judge I could appreciate your great professionalism in this very complex and complicated litigation. I got to know in your person one of the most competent intellectual property legal experts I ever met. Your engagement to serve the case was relentless and of great competency. With great pleasure and satisfaction I remember our corporation."

Counsel & Former Judge
“Some years ago you entrusted me with this case, at that time it was a shocking task. Highly difficult and not that easy to understand. However, you started like a patient teacher to introduce me step by step into this field. It was good that you took my hand for this exciting excursion and you did this in a very fair and human way. Over the years I learnt from you how to handle a major case. What I was never able to repeat, however, was your brilliant intelligence and your brain that was working like a hard disc. Frankly saying, I have never met an IP lawyer since 1991 (the year I started) that was that brilliant.”

"I am the owner and principal designer at Hillside Product Design Limited, a company of twenty years standing, providing product design services to clients domestic and foreign. I have worked with Hepworth Browne for over a decade and have, over that time, received expert and reliable guidance in many aspects of intellectual property, especially in the field of securing meaningful design protection for my clients in the UK, Europe and internationally. This work includes issues relating to authorship and advice pertaining to products manufactured to our design in China in which designs and their drawings were misappropriated. I look to Hepworth Browne as a trusted advisor given his long-term practice in these fields of commercial activity."
