EIP — England

About

- EIP > Patents - London - EIP > Patents - London EIP is a leading IP law firm advising on high-value and complex patent matters. Our multidisciplinary team combines patent attorneys, litigators and commercial IP lawyers, and we operate in three of the world’s main patent markets - Germany, UK and USA, and now also in the Nordics through our recent expansion into Sweden. The benefit of this combination is well illustrated by EIP’s successful representation of clients in high stakes patent litigation before the UK High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court and before the German District and Federal Courts. Aside from the more mainstream drafting and prosecution practices, EIP’s patent attorneys work closely with the litigation team in the UK and Germany providing additional technical expertise on large scale international patent litigation matters. EIP is increasingly involved in advisory and strategic project work in relation to the enforcement of patent rights, including portfolio analyses, infringement and validity analyses and claim charting, as well as strategic IP advice such as due diligence related to acquisitions and joint ventures. Members of their team often counsel clients on strategic patent portfolio management and development matters, and EIP has been retained to assist in developing high-level IP strategies for some of the world’s largest companies. In 2023 EIP was named "European Firm of the Year for Patent Litigation" by Managing Intellectual Property (Managing IP) after being named “Firm of the Year for Patent Litigation” for four years from 2018 to 2021 by Managing IP. EIP is a Legal 500, Chambers & Partners, IAM Patent 1000, IP Stars, and JUVE recommended firm as well as being recognised in the FT list of Europe’s Leading Patent Law Firms. - Other offices: Bath, Cardiff, Düsseldorf, Leeds, Denver, Stockholm ### Languages - Urdu - Spanish - Welsh - Dutch - German - French - Hindi - Swedish ### Staffing Figures - 22 Number of UK partners - 53 Number of other UK fee-earners - 185 Total staff
