MD IP works with overseas patent attorneys requiring support before the European Patent Office (EPO) and UK Intellectual Property Office (UK IPO) in chemical and pharmaceutical matters.

We help foreign associates with EPO regional phase entries, European and UK patent prosecution, oppositions, appeals and wider strategic patent advice.

Some firms prefer detailed strategic input throughout a matter. Others prefer specific instructions to be followed with minimal involvement. MD IP is comfortable working in either environment and adapts to the requirements of the instructing attorney.

We welcome opportunities to work with overseas patent attorneys on both individual matters and longer-term collaborations.

Whether handling a routine prosecution matter or a strategically important opposition, the objective remains the same: work delivered to the standards expected of Europe's leading patent firms.
