History

Lovell Newton Reddie began practising as a qualified patent attorney in 1907, and in 1929 took on Stewart Grose as a new partner. Early clients of Lovell Reddie included the Gramophone and Typewriter Company Ltd, and the Bell Telephone Company. Based on this initial expertise, the firm began to work in the 1930s for the Electrical & Musical Industries (EMI), and the British Broadcasting Company.
 
Today, consumer electronics and broadcasting systems remain prominent specialities  within a modern 21st century practice that has since expanded to include an in depth expertise of consumer goods and manufacturing, pharmaceutical, chemical, and biotechnology applications, clean tech, and Trade Marks and Designs.
