Firm overview
Protecting innovation. Strengthening brands. Supporting businesses worldwide.
Reddie & Grose is a leading European intellectual property firm, trusted by businesses and international legal advisers to protect, manage and maximise the value of their intellectual property. With over 100 IP professionals across London, Cambridge, Munich and The Hague, we combine deep technical expertise, commercial insight and international reach to deliver strategic patent, trade mark and design advice.

Our specialists work at the forefront of innovation, advising across technologies and industries including artificial intelligence, software, electronics, telecommunications, advanced engineering, future transport, energy, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and life sciences. From emerging technologies to established global brands, we understand the technical and commercial challenges our clients face and develop IP strategies that support their ambitions.

Our expertise extends across the full lifecycle of intellectual property protection, from initial patent drafting, prosecution and trade mark registration through to international portfolio management, oppositions, enforcement and contentious proceedings. Our established European Patent Office opposition practice and Unified Patent Court capabilities further strengthen our ability to advise on complex, commercially significant patent matters.

International relationships are central to our practice. We work closely with overseas attorneys, law firms and in-house IP teams, providing dependable UK and European representation supported by clear communication, technical precision and a collaborative approach. With clients and professional relationships spanning the globe, we understand the importance of delivering consistent, commercially focused advice across jurisdictions.

What sets Reddie & Grose apart is our ability to combine the resources and technical depth of a substantial European IP practice with the personal attention and responsiveness of a trusted adviser. Whether supporting a multinational's international portfolio, helping an innovative business secure its competitive advantage or working alongside an overseas firm to protect its client's interests in Europe, our focus remains the same: delivering practical, strategic IP advice that creates lasting commercial value.

Registered Designs.
Our registered designs practice helps businesses protect the distinctive appearance of their products and maintain a competitive advantage in increasingly design-led markets. We advise on UK, European and international design protection, from developing effective filing strategies and securing registrations through to portfolio management, validity and enforcement matters. Working closely with our patent and trade mark specialists, we provide coordinated protection strategies that reflect the commercial importance of product design, helping clients safeguard their innovations, strengthen their market position and protect against imitation.
