Our highly regarded team of patent attorneys provide a robust preparation service and prosecute patents in Europe, UK, USA and countries across the world.
Founded by partners with a mix of private practice and in-house backgrounds with multinationals, we create patents that are full of promise.
Many of our clients, from already high-profile organisations through to start-ups, come to us by recommendation due to past experience of success with EIP.
In addition to providing commercially-focused and straightforward advice on the multitudinous options for patent protection across the world, we offer single-firm prosecution in Europe and USA.
We can represent you at the EPO, UK IPO, and USPTO. We can also get you patents internationally, using a trusted network of local attorneys in each jurisdiction.
