It’s nice to meet you!
I’m Simon Wright.
And I believe that YOUR ideas deserve to be legally protected.
What I do
I problem solve and troubleshoot: I will take time to get to know you and your business so I can tailor my advice to your needs and maximise protection for your inventions and innovations
Intellectual Property (IP) advice and strategic planning
I provide tailored advice for all types of IP (patents, trade marks, designs) but in particular patents from the conception stage right through to enforcement
Drafting, filing and prosecuting patent applications
My services include assessing patentability, drafting and filing an initial patent application and then subsequently filing patent applications in various countries throughout the world
IP Portfolio management
I advise on strategic planning of all types of IP to maximise coverage and protect creativity.
Drafting, filing and prosecuting trade mark and design applications
My services include assessing registrability, drafting and filing a initial UK trade mark application and then subsequently filing trade mark applications in various countries throughout the world
Specialist patent advice for SMEs and academic organisations in the Life Sciences arena
I provide advice that is specific for small businesses and universities to maximise value of their patent portfolio for any given budget
Contentious work such as UK Patent Office Opinions, EPO Oppositions, UK and Unitary patent litigation
I handle patentability Opinions at the UK Patent Office, Oppositions at the European Patent Office and IP litigation in various fora including the new Unitary Patent Court
I've been around the block a few times.
When you've been in the field as long as I have, you build up a bit of a portfolio!
Years of Experience in Patent Management
Applications in my Largest patent portfolio managed
Pages in the largest application I've handled
bottles of wine consumed (at least!)
I do things differently…
I am flexible, user friendly and get to know my clients and their businesses. I am a good listener, practical and focussed and thus can tailor my advice to clients needs. I visit my clients frequently and take a keen and proactive approach in maximising value for their IP. I am active in both professional bodies which gives me a unique insight into law changes and practice.
But IP Law isn't all I do!
Patents aren’t my only passion! I’ve always considered myself a little bit eclectic, and in my spare time, you might find me cycling on the South Downs, scuba diving in Egypt, at a wine tasting in the City or playing my sax……..
