About Us

For over 20 years, our objectives have been – and continue to be – the delivery of the highest-quality legal services supported by complementary technical excellence and innovative open-mindedness. All are delivered cost-effectively by experienced nationally and internationally qualified patent and trade mark attorneys practicing in all fields of IP endeavour:

Trademark filing, prosecution, and appeals

Design registration

Coordination of European and international filing programs

Copyright

Litigation

Full-service renewal support

With an ethos designed to provide direct and immediate access to partners or partner-level attorneys, our national UK clients, direct international clients, and a strong network of fellow IP attorneys are each assured of sage and commercially astute counsel. Each of our attorneys is able both to draw from a pool of complementary team talents and a wealth of individual experiences acquired in private practice, directorship-level responsibility, and corporate management. We will not shy away from asking the tough questions or developing and recommending alternative strategies to achieve commercial goals.

Hepworth Browne’s philosophy is that each attorney has direct responsibility for his or her clients’ portfolios, so we each operate to develop a personalized partnership that aligns and grows with your expectations for quality, responsiveness, and success. Together, we will go the extra distance to achieve sometimes difficult objectives aligned to supporting and influencing sometimes challenging local and global business plans. You will always have direct contact with the person handling your cases. Above all, we will provide practical and commercially focused advice to help you fulfill your business’ needs and aspirations.

Our attorneys have exercised foresight in setting up and then securing groundbreaking decisions on fundamental “section 1” aspects of patentability in advanced technology areas that impact entire industrial sectors, SMEs, and multinationals alike. 

If there’s a problem, we believe that our experiences can help you achieve a successful IP outcome in an environment where success can sometimes be difficult, whether this be before the UKIPO, European Patent Office or elsewhere in any matters relating to patents, designs, copyright, trade marks or related commercial IP activities.
