I am a partner in our Intellectual Property practice based in London, specialising in IP enforcement and litigation across a range of rights including patents, trade marks, designs and confidential information. I frequently act in complex litigation (often with a cross border element) before the IPEC, High Court, Court of Appeal and CJEU, as well as in proceedings before the EUIPO/UKIPO. I also advise on international customs enforcement programmes and detentions.

As previously reported here, in October 2018, Philip Morris International (PMI) successfully obtained a pan-EU interim injunction on the basis of a registered Community design against a Chinese manufacturer, which was attempting to launch a copycat version of PMI’s smoke-free IQOS system onto the European market.
