Professional background
I focus particularly on trade mark law. I have experience in providing strategic trade mark advice to national and international clients. This includes managing global trade mark portfolios, and advising on trade mark clearance searches, filing and prosecuting trade marks, dealing with oppositions and co-existence agreements, and revocation and invalidity actions.
I work with a wide range of clients, and due to the nature of the work, assist clients with matters not only in the UK, but in many other jurisdictions around the world.
I successfully completed the University of Oxford Post Graduate Diploma in Intellectual Property Law and Practice.

UKIPO issues guidance on restricting trade mark specifications in ongoing registry proceedings
26.07.2024
Parties routinely agree to apply restrictions to trade mark specifications in settlement of contentious trade mark registry proceedings. However, in UK matters, there has been an increase in the UKIPO rejecting proposed restriction wording. As a result, the UKIPO has issued guidance on how it assesses proposed restrictions in a new Tribunal Practice Note, TPN 1/2024.
