Nick is a Patent Attorney working in the fields of chemistry, medical devices and mechanics.

The core of Nick’s practice is patent drafting and prosecution before the European and UK Patent Offices. He is also experienced in Oppositions and Appeals before the European Patent Office. He frequently provides freedom to operate and infringement opinions, IP due diligence and analysis of competitor’s patents.
