Patents

Protect your inventions. Power your strategy.

Patents turn ideas into assets. They give you exclusive rights to commercialise what you’ve created - while protecting your position in a competitive market.

We work with founders, R&D teams, and global businesses to secure, manage, and enforce patent rights with precision and discretion. Wynne-Jones offer essential patent services to ensure your IP is fully protected.

Our patent services include:

• Drafting & Prosecution

Strong, commercially focused patent applications - built to withstand scrutiny.

• IP Strategy & Portfolio Management

Aligning protection with your business plan, growth targets, and exit strategy.

• Patent Search & Analysis

Identifying novelty, spotting risks, and mapping opportunity.

• Oppositions & Appeals

Defending what’s yours. Challenging what isn’t.

• Patent Renewals

Keeping your patents alive, on time, and under control.

• Due Diligence

Clarity and confidence for IP-led investments, acquisitions, or funding rounds.

How patents add value

A granted patent gives you the exclusive right to stop third parties from exploiting your invention. To qualify, your idea must be:

• New
• Inventive (non-obvious)
• Industrially applicable
• Relate to eligible subject matter

We advise early - before public disclosure, before funding rounds, before mistakes get made.

Patent drafting that holds up

Our patent attorneys combine commercial awareness with deep technical expertise. We draft patents to match your ambitions, across sectors including space, aerospace, automotive and EV, medtech, agritech and plant variety rights, food & drink, semiconductors, advanced materials and AI. Explore our full list of sectors we cover.

We write with clarity. We prosecute with purpose. We don’t waste time - or protection.

Patent search and risk analysis

Before you file, you need to know what’s out there. We can run full searches to assess:

• Patentability
• Freedom to operate
• Potential infringement risks
• Emerging competitors

We give you facts, not guesswork.

Portfolio strategy

We help you identify and protect your Crown Jewels® - the inventions that define your competitive advantage. Then we build an IP strategy to match your business model, market goals, and budget.

Start-up or multinational, your IP should work like a business tool - not a legal formality.
