| Iain Purvis
QC
Iain has a broad ranging practice across the field of intellectual
property, and has appeared in every relevant tribunal from
the House of Lords to the European Patent Office. He was appointed
QC in the first round of appointments under the new system
in 2006. By that time he was regularly acting as lead advocate
in substantial trials. Iain has extensive experience in arbitration
proceedings, both as advocate and arbitrator, and is a qualified
mediator.
In his last years as a junior Iain was heavily engaged representing
the successful Defendants in the Ultraframe v Fielding litigation,
which involved two trials (one lasting 99 days in court) and
two visits to the Court of Appeal. Since taking silk, he has
appeared in a number of prominent trials and appeals including
the Whiter Shade of Pale case on ownership of musical copyright,
the Servier v Krka and Apotex pharmaceutical patent litigation
and Cinpres v Melea on ownership of patent rights. He was
named by The Lawyer magazine as one of its “Hot 100”
lawyers of 2007.
