From the inception of ideas to the enforcement of Intellectual Property rights, HGF and HGF Law can provide the service and advice you need.
Together, HGF Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys and HGF Law form one of the fastest growing, full-service intellectual property firms in the UK. From launch with a single attorney in 1995, the firm now boasts more than 50 attorneys and solicitors in a total staff in excess of 100, making HGF one of the top ten patent firms in the country. Growth has been secured organically and through a combination of acquisition and strategic lateral hires, from both private practice and in-house counsel.
The firm’s professional team is distributed through its seven UK offices in Aberdeen, Glasgow, Leeds, London, Manchester, Sheffield and York, serving our national and international client base.
We provide the full range of services expected from a leading patent and trade mark firm, however it is our dynamic approach to oppositions and appeals, strategic portfolio development and acquisition due diligence that distinguishes HGF within the IP market place. The firm’s reputation has grown by providing clients with a combination of exceptional levels of service, commercial acumen and technical understanding.
The firm specialises in protecting and exploiting intellectual property for research institutions, such as universities, and businesses ranging from SMEs to multinationals. HGF also has a significant practice assisting overseas attorneys to protect and exploit their clients’ intellectual property rights in Europe.
