Multidisciplinary teams

Working to get the very best result for you

Many of today’s medical technology products involve more than one technology, and traditional MedTech markets are being disrupted by emerging technologies such as AI, extended reality and 3D printing. Because of our size and spread of expertise, we can assemble a team of people with extensive knowledge in each of the relevant technologies. Our people are experienced at coming together in teams and working to get the very best result for you.

Complete IP service

In addition to our patent attorneys and trade mark attorneys, we have a large team of commercial lawyers. They become part of the team where issues such as freedom to operate arise or contracts are required.

Our patent attorneys have a wealth of experience in EPO oppositions and appeals and, together with our skilled IP litigators have a very high success rate in the courts in clearing the way for businesses to enter the market. Before any action is taken, we carefully analyse legal and commercial circumstances and give you clear advice on the cost and the chances of success, enabling you to make a confident commercially-based decision. Marks & Clerk have often succeeded with cases that others have been unable to resolve.

Clients

For many decades, Marks & Clerk has worked with a large number of medical technology businesses. They range from large corporates to fast growth SMEs and operate across all parts of the world.
