From medicine to microelectronics, Scotland’s capital city continues to invent a future to match its illustrious past. We have had an office in Edinburgh for over 20 years.

Since its establishment, the patent and trade mark practice has grown to cover all the sectors in operation in the east of Scotland, including life sciences (biotechnology and pharmaceuticals), industrial chemicals, electronics, software, medical devices, food and drink, financial services, luxury goods and fashion.

As well as working with many large multinational companies, and being closely involved in the thriving local start-up scene, the Chartered (UK) and European patent attorneys in our Edinburgh office have notable strength and experience in working with universities and other academic institutions.
