Firm overview

Beck Greener is a specialist European firm of patent, trade mark and design attorneys, and IP litigators, with particular strength in patent opposition/appeal proceedings and contentious trade mark work. The firm provides a full range of intellectual property services, with procurement and disputes at the core of its practice.

The firm has a long-standing reputation as a trusted adviser across multiple sectors. Clients value Beck Greener’s practical, commercially-focused approach and its ability to combine deep technical expertise with effective advocacy. Many client relationships extend for over 45 years and include work for leading global brands listed on the S&P 500, FTSE 100 and Fortune 500, across industries such as media, technology, life sciences, chemicals and engineering.

Beck Greener is particularly well known for its patent opposition/appeal work before the European Patent Office, together with its experience in contentious trade mark proceedings before the UK Intellectual Property Office and the English courts. Unlike many IP firms, Beck Greener manages disputes end-to-end, from initial submissions through to representation at hearings. Oral advocacy is a core strength of the firm, supported by an outstanding record of success in contested proceedings.

The trade mark team has extensive experience in contentious matters, including oppositions, invalidity and revocation actions, and brand enforcement. The firm is recognised for its pragmatic approach to obtaining, defending and enforcing brand rights.

Beck Greener works with clients of all sizes, from multinational corporations and international law firms to SMEs, start-ups, entrepreneurs, universities and technology transfer organisations. Services are tailored to each client’s needs and commercial objectives.

The patent team advises across all technical areas, with particular strength in chemistry, pharmaceuticals, engineering, and digital technologies, focusing on procurement, disputes, enforcement, and strategy worldwide.

With offices in central London and Malta, Beck Greener provides seamless advice on UK, EU and international IP matters.
