Schlich & Co is a firm of European Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys, specialising in intellectual property in biotech, chemical, pharmaceutical and mechanical technologies.

We are European Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys, specialising in biotech, chemical, life sciences and mechanical technologies.

We represent small and medium-sized pharmaceutical companies in protecting new drugs and also formulations and uses of a wide range of existing compounds. Other clients invent medical devices, stem cell-based therapies, tissue and cell selection methodologies, locking mechanisms, therapies based upon antibodies and ex vivo body fluid treatments. Food technology and food processing, and waste treatment methods and machines are other areas of our work.

Mechanically, clients of the firm have developed fishing equipment, scooter accessories, ship sanitation processors and home- and road-safety devices.

Our firm is full service in patents all the way from clearance to courtroom. For direct clients we draft and file in chemical, life sciences and mechanical technologies. Via our foreign associates we can file direct across all international territories, optionally using the PCT system to defer the high cost of those filings. We have a good record in obtaining granted patents worldwide and in defending those rights against third party challenges.

We offer all trade mark services in UK, Europe and internationally. We file locally and abroad, both via foreign associates or where appropriate the Madrid system. We defend our clients’ marks in oppositions and prosecute oppositions, both at the UKIPO and at OHIM in Alicante. In the UK we have acted via the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court (in both its full and small claims track divisions).

We file designs at home and abroad, taking advantage of the various grace periods that exist where necessary. We also enforce design protection through the courts and have this year been successful twice in the small claims track of the UK Patents County Court (now renamed the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court).
