Intellectual Property Conference

Our annual Intellectual Property Seminar returns on 4 November 2026 at our Birmingham office, bringing together leading IP practitioners and legal experts to discuss some of the most significant and rapidly evolving developments in intellectual property law.

Join us for an engaging programme featuring:

• Nick Briggs and Danny Kelly will examine some recent patent decisions covering accounts of profits, costs and claim construction
• Selina Hinchliffe and Charlotte Cassells will provide an in-depth look at international patent licensing, covering key commercial and legal considerations, risk management strategies, due diligence requirements, and approaches to structuring and negotiating effective licensing arrangements.
• David Ivison, Barrister at 11 South Square, will explore some recent themes in patent litigation.
• Mauro Paiano will conclude the programme with a comprehensive round-up of recent UK trade mark appeal decisions, highlighting key judgments and the lessons they offer for brand owners and advisers.

We look forward to welcoming you for an informative and thought-provoking morning of discussion, insight and networking with fellow IP professionals.
