Here’s what a previous attendee had to say about their experience: 'It was lovely to meet you and thank you for your time and expertise yesterday. I found it really helpful, reflective and thought provoking to benefit from your insight on this matter, and have better understanding of options and potential approaches going forward. Much appreciated.'

Hindles are based in Scotland and England and have an international reach. Our worldwide clients include start-ups and spin-outs, large corporations, universities, listed companies and public sector bodies. We represent clients directly before the European Patent Office, the UK Intellectual Property Office and the World Intellectual Property Office, and through attorneys in over 100 countries around the world.

Start-ups, university spin-outs and large corporations are all well served by its carefully assembled ensemble of patent attorneys, whose guidance is always clear and commercially meaningful. At the fore is eponymous director Alistair Hindle: 'very responsive and friendly, with an ability to turn things around really quickly', he understands the needs and goals of SMEs, handling the development and management of their patent portfolios across the innovation lifecycle. Fellow director Robert Gregory is a Cambridge-educated chemist who prosecutes patent applications across the spectrum of scientific disciplines and frequently appears before the EPO in administrative proceedings.
