Peter Charlton

As a qualified patent and trade mark attorney, I divide my time approximately equally between patents and trade mark matters, also taking principal responsibility within the firm for design right and registered design issues, as well as advising in copyright issues. My patent work covers many aspects of the broad field of engineering and I have long experience of protecting inventions in the medical device field, through both patents and designs, on an international basis. I have substantial experience of arguing oppositions before the European Patent Office. My trade mark work encompasses both contentious and non-contentious matters before the UK Trade Marks Registry and the Community Trade Marks Office (OHIM).
