Jonathan Edwards

I am an associate in our Intellectual Property Group based in London. I work with clients across the spectrum of intellectual property rights, with a particular focus on patents and intellectual property enforcement.

My litigation experience to date has involved acting for clients on infringement and invalidity matters in relation to patents, copyrights and design rights. I also provide ongoing trade mark enforcement and brand protection support.

My background is in the Pharmaceutical industry having studied Pharmacology at undergraduate level before working in pharmaceutical business intelligence after graduating. My desire to work with innovation, science and technology led me to take on further study at postgraduate level in the management of intellectual property before converting to a career as a solicitor.

During my training contract I had even exposure to contentious, non-contentious and regulatory matters having spent time in our Corporate and Commercial departments, as well as our Dispute Resolution and Intellectual Property teams.

I qualified into our Intellectual Property Group in 2020. Throughout my training contract I worked with clients across a range of industries and sectors, including life sciences, technology and communications, retail and consumer and media, entertainment and sport.
