A qualified European and UK patent attorney since 2002, Oliver Kingsbury has experience in providing a broad range of IP support to both R&D and commercial clients. He has particular expertise in the pharmaceutical sector, and has helped clients to achieve exclusivity in their technical field through the development and execution of patent filing and prosecution strategies at all stages of product development and commercialisation.
