Josh advises and represents clients of all shapes and sizes, by providing advice in relation to many aspects of patent and design protection to start-up clients, SMEs, multinational companies, and other institutions. He advises clients on the potential risks and actions associated with navigating third party IP rights (mainly, patents and designs) when launching new products and how these products could be protected through a cost-effective and pragmatic IP strategy. Josh takes particular enjoyment from assisting local clients with pursuing and protecting their IP interests.
Josh has also gained valuable commercial experience working in the patent department of a large multinational company. With such an experience, Josh is able to provide clients with commercially-focussed and effective patent advice. At university, Josh participated in a group project for automating the control of drone swarms. In his final year, he was awarded with the best experimental project prize for investigating the reliability of cardiac diffusion tensor imaging techniques in detecting cardiomyopathy. Josh was also included in the Dean’s list for Academic Excellence in his third and final years.
