After finishing a mathematics degree at Pembroke College, Oxford, Ben spent seven years as a senior subeditor and contributor at New Scientist magazine. His wide experience of all areas of science, from the quantum to the cosmological, provided a great springboard for a move to the IP Bar.
Ben practises in all fields of intellectual property. His mathematical background is particularly applicable to highly technical subject matter such as electronics and telecoms patents. He has appeared in the Court of Appeal and CJEU, and regularly represents clients in the High Court, including the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court, as well as at the UKIPO at first instance and on appeals.
