Our client base spans from fast-growing SMEs to university spin-out companies to individual entrepreneurs and inventors. They operate in fields as diverse as electro-optical devices, energy, semiconductors, education, business software and mechanical products.

Our Practice
We handle all aspects of patent law, nationally and internationally, from drafting and filing, through prosecution of applications to granted patents and beyond.
We conduct IP audit assessments to help you identify and evaluate the current IP status of your company; untangle complex issues of IP ownership; and make strategic decisions on potential future IP. The ultimate goal of our IP Audit service is to help you develop a well-crafted IP portfolio that supports your long-term business plan and strengthens your position in a global and competitive market.
We are in the top 3 firms in the UK in terms of the number of IP Audits reported by the UK Intellectual Property Office in 2017.
We also provide advice on IP protection of design rights, copyright and trade marks.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Very helpful first discussion - realistic and well informed advice. Genuinely a pleasure to deal with.
LeanIP ticked all our boxes during the initial meeting phase. We were highly impressed with its IP Audit process. We found this novel approach to be very easy to understand and it helped us in devising a patent priority order. It allowed us to focus on the key areas and to identify early on features with a high or low chance of patentability.
I had quite an in-depth conversation with Jim Adams and I felt he liked the challenge of understanding and investigating my business and IP needs.
We choose LeanIP due to the closest match available for my needs being an in-depth understanding of electronics, microprocessors and sensors.
We choose LeanIP according to the areas of speciality and its previous experience.
Everything we needed to know appeared transparent.
