Paul Williams

I am a UK and European Patent Attorney and representative before the EU Unified Patent Court, and have been working to protect client's technical innovations since joining the profession in the early 1990s. After obtaining a Masters degree in Chemistry from Oxford University, I immediately trained with a firm of private practice patent attorneys in London before moving to the intellectual property department of a US-based global chemical company. After qualifying as a patent attorney, I rejoined private practice with a boutique patent and trade mark firm, subsequently joining Lewis Silkin in 2019. With a background in chemistry, I specialise in handling patents in the chemical and life sciences sectors. In particular, I advise clients with drafting, filing and prosecution of patent applications, in the UK, Europe and globally, as well as with post-grant oppositions, infringement and validity matters, and freedom-to-operate opinions. I also have a wide experience of advising on and filing registered designs. · Lewis Silkin
