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

Helpful Tips

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

HOW WE WORK

IMG_9724

When you work with Albright IP, you will find us helpful, conscientious and understanding of your needs, because we listen to our clients and we have years of experience.

Albright IP offers a complimentary initial free consultation to assess your business’ IP requirements. This provides an opportunity for an overall IP health review, to identify ways to strengthen your portfolio and to discuss additional protection. If you have a portfolio of IP, we also offer a regular meeting so that we can discuss developments to your products and business. We often act like in-house counsel and get a feel for your business and advise accordingly.

We can check that appropriate systems are in place for capturing relevant rights within your business, ensuring the timely payment of renewal fees, for example.

We offer a fixed fee service for drafting and filing a UK patent application. Albright IP aims to make the process of obtaining patents as smooth as possible for businesses, both large and small. We can estimate prosecution costs for your case, linked to a calendar, enabling you to set an approximate budget for future costs likely to be incurred.

Most of all, we are on the phone, on e-mail and on Skype. If you need a UK attorney or a European attorney, we are available. We put ourselves at your service to meet your business requirements and we try and provide excellence in everything we do.

THE STORY SO FAR

801_9950_3Albright Patents was founded in 2007 by Robert Games. Robert was a Patent Attorney working for a national firm in Bristol. He had also worked four years as a Patent Examiner at the UK Patent Office (now the UK IPO). After spending 3 years commuting daily from Cheltenham to Bristol on the 7.52am train, he decided to cut himself loose and follow his ambition of working for himself.

The first memorable call to the business line was Adrian Hocking, a Patent Attorney working for another large firm and he was looking for a job. Robert didn’t have a single client at that point, but it was a conversation which would lead to the creation of Albright IP Ltd today.

Adrian and Robert became business partners after a year and were joined shortly thereafter by Katie Oliver, Robert’s wife and a qualified Trade Mark Attorney. They traded as Albright Patents LLP for some time, but when Julia House, another Trade Mark Attorney joined the partnership, it became clear that a re-brand was necessary.

The partners formed Albright IP Ltd in August 2014 and became co-directors. The directors all bring different strengths to the table and their combined knowledge, skills and temperaments makes for a powerful blend of enthusiasm and continuity.

The company has grown year on year, and now the team is supported by an extremely clever team of junior Attorneys, the future does feel “Albright”.
