Services

Our services are centred around intellectual property that can be registered. We protect innovation, design, and branding across all sectors of industry, and at all stages in the supply chain.

For each IP right we offer services covering strategic advice, pre-registration searches, registrations and renewals, oppositions and dispute resolution. We handle work throughout the world, working with local colleagues in over 100 countries.

Sectors

Our attorneys specialise in one or more sectors of industry, which enables them to provide quality advice with a commercial focus.

Our patent specialists have detailed understanding of the background technology, which ensures that your patent applications are prepared with the correct scope, reducing the likelihood of challenges from third parties and objections from the patent office.

They also advise whether other forms of protection would be more appropriate. Our brand specialists work with brand managers for leading brands and their advice is commercially focussed making sure that you get the best value from your budget.

Robin Ellis #


Partner

Munich Office

Robin’s experience brings a commercial perspective to the assessment of global IP strategies in the pharmaceutical; medical device and chemical sectors.

Robin joined Reddie & Grose in 2019 and is the firm’s first partner to be based permanently in our Munich office. Robin, a British/German national, started his career in 2001 with Reddie & Grose in London before deciding in 2006 to move to Germany to work in-house for one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies.  In his final role in-house Robin was the global head of the small molecules patent team.

Since returning to private practice, Robin’s work reflects his in-house experiences and focuses on commercial and contentious matters including oppositions; freedom to operate assessments; licencing and launch & litigation strategies in European and non-European jurisdictions.  In his 20+ years in the profession Robin has supported numerous product launches that required navigating complex patent landscapes.

Robin also advises his pharmaceutical and biotech clients on the interplay between regulatory and patent derived exclusivities and helps devise strategies relating to supplementary protection certificates and patent term extensions.

Complimenting his chemistry and pharmaceutical background, Robin has a wealth of experience working with medical devices, supporting clients in technologies ranging from inhalers to cranial perforators.

Robin enjoys snowboarding, cricket and rugby (although his playing days are long behind him) and faces a daily battle trying to convince his two young children to support the slightly less fashionable Norwich City over Bayern Munich.
