Patents

11 South Square has a rich pedigree in patent disputes.  We offer extensive experience and expertise in all aspects of patent and Supplementary Protection Certificate prosecution and enforcement. In addition to infringement, revocation and entitlement actions in the English courts, members of chambers act in proceedings in the European Patent Office and the UK Intellectual Property Office.  We regularly appear in high value, multi-jurisdictional patent actions involving complex subject matter and elements of competition law. Some members of chambers have appeared as experts on UK patent law in other jurisdictions.

All members of chambers accept patent cases in all technical fields; some individuals have particular strengths in certain technologies such as biotechnology, chemistry or electronics and telecommunications. Further information on the special expertise of individual members of Chambers is available from the clerks.
