Modern technologies and advancements in product design and manufacturing contribute to our being able to lead a more sustainable and improved lifestyle. These in turn are increasing both the expectancy and quality of life we are able to enjoy as consumers by combatting health challenges and diseases, improving diagnostics and developing new therapies.
Never before have health, fitness and wellbeing been so heavily promoted and omnipresent within our everyday lives, thanks to technology, social media and our access to data. It is now possible to measure, compare and contrast almost every component of our mental and physical wellbeing with the potential to live a longer, healthier life.
Thank you

Women and IP: a continuing journeyIt’s now over 30 years since I joined the patent attorney profession. When I started, there were relatively few female patent attorneys, partly due to much lower numbers of women studying STEM subjects at university. I recall I was one of about six women in a cohort of 90 studying chemistry at Imperial College, and there were even fewer in the engineering departments. Today, thankfully there are more women in the profession – but there are still things we need to improve.

UK Corporation tax U-turn increases the allure of Patent Box schemeThe imminent rise in UK corporation tax makes the financial benefits of the Patent Box scheme look even more attractive, and there may now be additional incentive for many innovative and IP-focused companies to give Patent Box greater attention.
