What the Team is Known For

Powell Gilbert is regarded as one of the best patent litigation practices in the world. The firm has a comprehensive IP practice which advises on the registrability, protection and commercialisation of all core rights. Its team is regularly instructed to handle the most cutting edge of life sciences and hi-tech disputes, and is recommended for trade mark, passing-off and copyright instructions.

Strengths

The Powell Gilbert team are easy to work with and tend to move things forward for their clients rather than putting up barriers.

A go-to IP firm with top-notch work product and incredibly smart lawyers. They really know our business and are incredibly responsive.

The technical prowess of its highly specialised, intelligent and tech-savvy lawyers enables the firm to handle some of the most legally challenging and technically complex cases in the UK courts.

Work Highlights

Powell Gilbert represented Ocado in multi-jurisdictional patent infringement, validity and entitlement proceedings against AutoStore. They also acted as lead representatives before the Düsseldorf, Nordic-Baltic and Milan divisions of the UPC.

Notable practitioners

Simon Ayrton undertakes a wide range of largely contentious IP work, focusing on trade marks, designs and copyrights. He is also able to handle FRAND patent licensing disputes.
 

Simon is an extremely excellent practitioner who is very sensible and collegiate.
