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.

In April 2023, the High Court found that Tesco’s use of its Clubcard logo infringed Lidl’s trade mark rights in the Lidl logo, constituted passing off and found that the Clubcard logo had been copied from Lidl’s logo, thereby infringing Lidl’s copyright.
