Beck Greener is a UK and European intellectual property firm with over 150 years of experience in protecting inventions, trade marks, designs, and other intellectual property. Operating from offices in central London and near the EUIPO in Spain, the firm provides a full spectrum of IP services, including both contentious and non-contentious matters, and is particularly experienced in advising on UK and EU trade marks and design rights post-Brexit. Its attorneys are recognised for delivering pragmatic, high-quality advice tailored to client needs.

The firm represents a diverse client base, ranging from SMEs, start-ups, and individual inventors to globally recognised companies in sectors such as media, technology, artificial intelligence, life sciences, chemicals, and engineering, including brand owners listed on the S&P 500, FTSE 100, and Fortune 500. With strong cross-border capabilities, Beck Greener regularly advises clients across the US, Europe, and Asia. Its service model combines partner-led personal service with cost-effective staffing, making effective use of technology to maintain a boutique-style approach while ensuring efficiency.

The patent practice covers chemistry, pharmaceuticals, chemical engineering, medical and life sciences, and mechanical, engineering, physics, and digital technologies. Attorneys draft, file, and prosecute patent applications in the UK, Europe, and internationally, and the firm has a proven track record in patent oppositions and appeals before the European Patent Office. In trade marks, Beck Greener ranks among the UK’s largest filers of both domestic and EU applications and advises leading global brands on registration, enforcement, licensing, assignments, and settlements. Its copyright expertise supports clients in the media and entertainment industries.

The firm is widely recognised for its success in contentious intellectual property proceedings, including trade mark, design, and copyright litigation in UK courts and before the UK IPO, where its attorneys frequently appear among the most active representatives. In design matters, Beck Greener acts for major companies in design-sensitive sectors, with extensive experience in filing Community and UK registered designs and enforcing both registered and unregistered rights.
