Glasgow

Sir Dugald Clerk, inventor of the two-stroke engine, was born in Glasgow in 1854 and went on to co-found Marks & Clerk.

By helping to protect the emerging technologies of heavy industry, our Glasgow practice was also ‘Clyde-built’. Today, the office is situated at The Beacon in the heart of Glasgow’s business district. Here our UK and European Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys work to protect the innovations, designs and brands so vital to our start-up, SME, university and multinational clients.

Our Glasgow office has particular strength in mechanical engineering, electronics and energy (renewables and oil and gas), and has a thriving domestic and international life sciences (pharmaceuticals and biotechnology) practice. From patentability opinions and drafting to infringement and opposition advice, the office can provide specialist and tailored intellectual property services to support businesses of all shapes and sizes.

This year is a particularly special year for Glasgow as the city marks its 850th anniversary. To mark the occasion, we will be celebrating Glasgow's rich history and invaluable contributions to industry through a series of thought leadership and articles you can find below.
