Specialists in tech patents, EIP is best known for its Standard Essential Patent and FRAND litigation expertise, with experience acting in a substantial portion of the key cases in the area. The team also advises clients in relation to transactional and regulatory matters, and handles IP-rich investments and M&A. Litigator Andrew Sharples leads the group in conjunction with non-contentious practitioner Mark Lubbock. ‘Pro litigator’ Gary Moss brings over three decades of complex tech patent expertise to the group, and Kathleen Fox Murphy is particularly well-versed in obtaining interim injunctions and handling the associated damages disputes.
