Jennifer Uno

Jennifer has a wealth of experience as a patent attorney, spending time as a coordinator of global IP portfolios, strategic advisor, EPO opposition specialist, and drafter and prosecutor of patent applications in the engineering and physics fields.

She is particularly strong in the fields of medical devices (e.g. infusion devices, wound dressings, vacuum therapyapparatus, retinal treatment devices, waste disposal), mechanical devices and subsea technology (e.g. pipelines, cable protection, vehicles, vessels), and apparatus incorporating aspects of physics or electrochemistry. She enjoys discussing commercial aims and developing IP strategies to suit.

Jennifer appears frequently at the EPO in Munich and The Hague to attend opposition and appeal hearings. She enjoys a debate and believes that the scrutiny and detail of opposition proceedings is the best way to continually hone your patent skills.

Jennifer is also a member of the firm's Asia business development team as Japan coordinator, working to review and increase business with Japan and foster our relationship with Japanese firms. Having started her IP career at a Japanese patent firm, she gained invaluable insight into the way different businesses and clients operate, and an appreciation of cultural diversity.
