Your IP powerhouse
We provide you with access to some of the best IP minds in the business
Our dynamic team of trade mark experts are excellent at what they do. But working with Mewburn Ellis means you get more than this, with access to our whole firm and some of the best commercial and legal IP minds in the business. It’s not just our trade mark and patent attorneys and lawyers that are great, our paralegals are award winning, and our firm won National Paralegal Business of the year in 2023.
We work as one firm and build integrated teams around our clients. It doesn’t matter what area of IP you need help with or what sector you operate in, Mewburn Ellis is always one team, built just for you. Our focus is on the best commercial solution for you and the right team at the right level depending on your individual needs. This approach is quicker and more effective than having to use multiple firms and offers you a real commercial advantage.
Trade mark work is commercial work and often related legal advice is needed too. We have this in house and at your disposal. Our trade mark attorneys work hand in hand with our solicitors and our patent and design specialists to provide expert and combined advice such as on parallel import cases and handling any associated agreements or disputes. You also have access to our excellent IP Support Services team, with our award winning paralegals as well as our dedicated records and renewals management team.
Whatever your needs, we put together the right team for the job.

We now have an extensive knowledge and understanding of Axon’s business, helped by Axon’s willingness to share insights into its own strategic direction, which have together allowed us to provide high-level, strategic guidance to Axon, including regarding the protection of software inventions, as well as practical commercially-grounded advice.
