Frederick is a qualified and experienced Chartered British Patent Attorney, European Patent Attorney, and Higher Courts Litigator who enjoys working in a diverse range of technical areas.

As well as patent prosecution, Frederick handles contentious IP matters including patent, trade mark, design and copyright infringement. He has a strong track record of settling disputes on favourable terms for his clients, while keeping costs proportionate to ensure value. Frederick holds a Higher Courts Litigation Certificate and as such is qualified to conduct intellectual property litigation, including appeals, in all the courts of England and Wales.

In addition to being chartered, as with all our attorneys, Frederick is a member of and regulated by IPReg, the independent professional regulatory body in the UK for Patent Attorneys and Trade Mark Attorneys.
Frederick has been a member of the Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys and the European Patent Institute for many years. He is also a member of AIPPI(the International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property) and an associate member of the Institute of Engineering and Technology.
