The team at Boult Wade Tennant LLP is well-placed to handle the broad array of patent work for its client list, which features names spanning numerous sectors, including medical devices and biotech. Its workload includes building European portfolios through prosecution at the EPO, managing such European portfolios as well as domestic, and advising on the remit of patentability issues and considerations. Biotech and life sciences specialist Nina White heads up the offering alongside Tessa Bucks, chemical specialist Adrian Hayes, and Jonathan Palmer. Opposition and appeal work is the specialism of Rohan Setna, and Daniel Weston has noteworthy patent drafting expertise. The ‘outstanding’ James Short is recommended, as is the ’incredibly smart’ Neil Thomson. The team is predominantly based across London, Cambridge, and Reading.
