Powell Gilbert - About us

Powell Gilbert

 

Our lawyers have technical backgrounds, and combined with our wealth of experience and practical know-how, it means we grasp issues quickly and without wasting time.

Our lawyers have experience right across the spectrum of IP litigation, gained from acting in cases across a wide range of technologies and industries. This experience ranges from acting in the earliest biotechnology patent

 

cases in the UK courts to enforcing trade mark rights against counterfeit goods in the fashion and luxury goods sectors.

We have acted in cases involving products as diverse as DNA microarrays, computer software, pharmaceutical blockbusters, petrochemicals, semi-conductors, bubblegum and razorblades. We have represented clients in the UK Patents Courts, Court of Appeal and the House of Lords


  and the European Court of Justice. We have assisted in cases before many overseas courts, including in continental Europe, the US, Australia and Japan. We are frequently involved in European Patent Office opposition proceedings and in representing clients before the UK and European trade mark registries.
   
Powell Gilbert is pleased to work with the Design and Artists Copyright Society, the UK's leading copyright and collecting society for artists and visual creators, in an initiative to provide pro bono legal services to artists in copyright and licensing disputes.
  It's the thought that counts.
