Marks & Clerk is a well-established
intellectual property firm with over 125
years’ experience, advising on patents,
trade marks, designs, and copyright.
Nationally, we are the UK’s largest firm
of patent and trademark attorneys but
we also have an international presence
with multiple offices outside the UK
including in Asia and Canada.
We don’t just file patents and trade marks
– we work proactively with innovative
businesses like yours to identify your
IP assets and provide strategic advice
to achieve full commercial value. Our
client list includes all types of businesses,
from university spin-outs and start-ups
through to major corporations, leading
academic institutions, science parks
and SMEs.
The strong scientific and technical
backgrounds that our patent attorneys
have complements their legal position
when advising clients across the full
spectrum of technologies including
electronics, mechanical engineering,
biotechnology, and cleantech. Our
international network of trade mark
attorneys can provide you with advice
across a wide range of sectors including
academic and research institutions,
science parks, electronics and gaming,
food and beverage, fashion, sports,
media, and FMCG. Since 2010 our
national and international attorney
practice has been awarded the ISO 9001
certification for quality management
systems, demonstrating our commitment
to providing you with a consistently high
level of service.
A full r ange of IP services
We are unique in having an associated

Marks & Clerk Consulting’s intellectual
property legal and valuation experts
offer robust valuations of businesses’ IP
portfolios to assist you with licensing, sale
and other ways to commercialise your IP.
Marks & Clerk Solicitors is one of
the UK’s leading intellectual property

trade marks, domain and trade names,
designs, and copyright.
We are proud to be involved with
many R&D-led businesses on science
and technology parks across the UK, as
well as university technology transfer,
joint ventures, and spin-outs. We aim to
provide a valuable resource for you and
other UKSPA members by working in
local partnership with you to protect
and exploit innovations in support of
your business objectives. Our belief is
that science and technology parks are
pivotal for encouraging innovation and
creativity in the UK. ■
