What Our Clients Say ...
I want to personally thank Charlie Heal , Emily Fox, Cara McAtee, and the entire team at Albright IP for their hard work, dedication, and professionalism in helping me submit my first ever patent: the Baffer Ball fire suppression system.
From the very first meeting, Charlie and Emily made everything feel clear, comfortable, and respectful. They listened carefully to my ideas, even though I’m not from a technical or legal background – I’m a painter and decorator by trade. But they believed in my vision and treated it with such care and seriousness that I felt truly supported as an inventor.
Over several months, we worked closely by email and phone. Charlie and the team guided me step by step to build one of the strongest, clearest, and most professional patent drafts I could have hoped for. The claims they wrote are powerful, and the language used shows how deeply they understood my invention. They didn’t just file a document – they helped shape a legacy.
Charlie, even though he is young, is incredibly professional and experienced. I am amazed at how he managed such a complex project with kindness, patience, and precision. Emily and Cara were also fantastic throughout.
This was not just paperwork – this was my dream since childhood. And Albright IP helped me make that dream real.
💬 I look forward to working with them again on future patents. The Baffer Ball is just the beginning – and I am proud that Albright IP was there from Day 1.
Thank you so much again — from the bottom of my heart.

He’s not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also warm and approachable. No question has ever felt too small, and he genuinely cares about the success of my business. I’d highly recommend Marc to anyone looking for a dedicated, trustworthy, and skilled patent attorney.
The patent was filed within weeks and had a depth of technical input from Albright that was excellent. I'm very pleased.
I have filed patents in the past but working with Albright IP was a totally different experience. I recommend them without hesitation.
Their knowledge regarding the patent process is extensive.
They have help me navigate the complex process to gain patent granted on my first design and patent pending on my second design.
I feel reassured and confident to put my designs in their hands knowing they will give the best advice based on the facts and not for their own financial gain.
Brilliant company.

Comfyi.
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.
No upselling for their fee either, just a fair, professional appraisal...
Thanks to Allbright, I am not spending thousands on a low hope project (when I so easily could have been).
Then end result being that we accomplished everything I wanted to in time and budget.
Highly recommend.

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
TRADE MARK ASSIGNMENTS
Are you a business or an individual needing to transfer ownership of your Trade Mark rights to another party? If so, the Trade Mark team at Albright IP is well placed to advise you on the legal requirements to transfer (assign) your registrations and subsequently, to record the transaction at the appropriate national Trade Mark office.
After a trade mark has been filed or registered, the proprietor can deal with that right just like any other form of property, whether tangible or otherwise. What this means is that if he so wishes, the proprietor can transfer ownership of the right to another party. This can be from the ownership of one or more individuals to a limited company or from one company to another.
When a company’s structure changes in any way, whether it be a change of name or address or the transfer of ownership from one legal entity to another, the transfer should be recorded on the relevant trade mark register. It is important to keep the public record up the date and to enable third parties to obtain accurate information about a trade mark and contact the proprietor. Importantly, if a transaction is not recorded on the trade mark register, it is ineffective against a third party subsequently acquiring, in good faith, a conflicting interest in or under the trade mark. In the UK, if the transaction is not entered on the trade mark register within six months of the date of the transaction, the proprietor or licensee will not be entitled to damages or an account of profits in infringement proceedings.
A trade mark assignment must contain certain elements, and these requirements vary between countries. For example, the assignment must be in writing, it must identify the parties to the assignment, i.e. the assignor (the transferor) and the assignee (the transferee) and the Marks to be transferred. Reference must be made to a financial consideration, the transfer of goodwill (if appropriate) and the effective date of the assignment. The assignment document must be executed on behalf of the parties to the assignment.
The transfer of a trade mark application or registration can be whole or partial in relation to all or some of the registered goods or services or in relation to certain countries.
