The patent group at Dehns continues to be a leading firm in EPO filings, and it represents clients in a significant volume of oppositions and appeals, as well as an increasing number of UPC actions. Its client base largely consists of UK, German, and Scandinavian-based large companies, SMEs, and universities, all of whom benefit from the firm’s increasingly strong presence in Norway. Senior partner Elizabeth Jones and managing partner Adrian Samuels are notable names in the group, in addition to head of the biotechnology practice Hanna Dzieglewska, chair of the chemical group Louise Golding, John Tothill, who heads up the engineering department, and head of litigation Paul Harris. Oxford-based Mark Bell is also highly praised by clients as a ‘phenomenal patent attorney’.
