My experience with Albright IP has been flawless from start to finish. I... have never filed a patent before so I was learning everything as I went along. They have been helpful in every way possible and gone the extra mile to ensure I was kept in the loop and happy as everything was going through each step of the way. I cannot express enough how pleased I am with their service. I had the pleasure of working with Will, Abigail, and Adrian. I would recommend Albright IP to anyone looking to file a patent application.read more

Was a pleasure to work with Will and Melissa on a patent draft and filing.... Will took the time to understand both my software product and the commercial motivations behind the patent filing. They were extremely responsive to questions and clarifications throughout the process (availability isn't everything, but it certainly helps!).They were also very clear regarding fees, and set out a very helpful visual timeline and cost breakdown on the whole patent application process at the pre-sales stage. This emphasis on making sure I understood all aspects of the work, and having documentation to help with that, is something I didn't see with any of the other patent services I was talking to at the time. This clear communication continued throughout our interactions.Would recommend Albright IP to anyone looking to patent an invention. The patent they filed for me was for a software invention.read more

Do I have to identify the designer?
It is possible to waive the name of the designer when filing a European Community Design, but you should be sure that you have the rights to the design

Albright IP Expands With Six New Starters

by | Sep 28, 2021

New-Starters-at-Albright-IP-2021Albright IP has been taking on new talent to deal with a growing workload driven by an expanding client base and continuing post-Brexit work.

In recent weeks we have welcomed six new starters. Four are training as attorneys in the Patent teams and in addition to this, two paralegals have also joined the expanding Trade Mark team and will start their training towards becoming qualified Trade Mark attorneys.

The business expansion is necessary, says Albright IP Managing Director Robert Games, to respond to an increasing client base and to support clients that need additional help with Trade Marks and Registered Designs now that the UK has left the EU.

2021 has been a very busy year for us so far, and we want to make sure we’re fully equipped to respond to our client needs. Brexit in particular has caused a surge in work, as clients both existing and new now need to file for Trade Marks and Registered Designs separately in both the UK and in Europe.

“Our Trade Mark team has worked through a backlog of ‘cloned’ UK registrations that automatically took place when we left the EU,” he said.

“All in all, it has resulted in a lot of additional registration work in a short timescale. While it has been challenging to absorb the growing workload, our team has done a fantastic job, even while mostly working remotely.

“We have some amazing talent in the business, and everyone responded in a really positive way – which means we’re able to continue to deliver great service.”

Lauren Fisher and Zainab Rhyman, both first class law graduates have joined Albright IP as trainee paralagels in the Trade Mark team. Charlie Heal, Ciara Felix, Dr Emily Taylor and Alysia Draper, have all now joined the Patent teams, bringing their own specialisms to expand the company’s knowledge base.

Dr Taylor has a PhD in Chalcogenide Thin Film Materials for Next Generation Engineering Applications from Bath University, while Alysia Draper has a Masters degree in Chemistry from Cardiff University. In addition to this Ciara Felix, has a Doctorate from Oxford University, where she studied computational research on the use of ultrasound as a non-invasive treatment for neurological disorders.

Charlie Heal has a first class Masters in Chemistry from the University of York with modules on clean technology and the use of patents in the chemical industry. His Masters focussed on the synthesis and characterisation of chromia-based hydrofluorination catalysts.

Added Robert: “We pride ourselves in the training and support we provide to our employees to enable them to develop their careers while they are working with us. We’ve already taken six of our existing staff through to become qualified Patent Attorneys and I’m delighted to say that this year we’ve seen Adrian French successfully qualify as a European Patent Attorney.”
