Specialists across the agritech sector

New plant varieties, pest control, agribots, driverless tractors, drone imagery – Agritech brings cutting edge innovation to the planet’s oldest technology.  Whether you are a start-up or a multinational, your inventions and branding may have world-wide application. Marks & Clerk will help you to ensure your IP is protected.

Whatever your Agritech innovation, we have expertise to match

Our Agritech team of attorneys and solicitors comprises experts with a broad spectrum of technical backgrounds and proven experience in obtaining, enforcing and licencing IP rights worldwide. We are uniquely placed to help across the full range of Agritech technologies, from genetically modified crops to big machines; from autonomous robots to biological pest control.

We look forward to working proactively and collaboratively with you to support you at every stage of the IP life-cycle: from identifying IP assets to obtaining protection and enforcing your rights.

Helping Good Ideas Grow 

Marks & Clerk Agritech Innovation Webinar Series

Over five webinars, starting in February 2022, we explored Agritech IP as it relates to Mechanical Engineering, Digital Farming, Plant Genetics, Agrochemicals and Branding. 

The webinar recordings are available to watch now - our IP specialists describe practical ways to protect and monetise innovation. Using real-world examples from different technical standpoints, our speakers demystify IP and present dos and don'ts to help you avoid the commercial and competitive pitfalls of ignoring your intellectual assets.
