A leading firm of intellectual property specialists, which has an office in Reading, is lending its backing to the next generation of professionals in the sector by sponsoring a prestigious award.
Cleveland Scott York is sponsoring the Prize for the Best Performance in Intellectual Property Law at Reading University.
The award will recognise the work of the student who has excelled in the subject at the university.
Adrian Bradley, a Chartered Patent Attorney and Partner at the firm’s Reading office, said: “Intellectual property law helps gear our economy towards growth by protecting creative and financial investments from exploitation by others, in turn fuelling the development of new technologies and new brands.
“Professionals specialising in intellectual property law play an important role in advising and assisting businesses to use this body of law to best commercial and economic effect.
“That is why backing the next generation of professionals is so important and why we are delighted to once again sponsor this award.
“I look forward to presenting the award in the summer.”
The Cleveland Scott York Prize will be presented at a ceremony on Wednesday 4 July 2018.
