Patents
Find out how Sanderson & Co. can help you
We can provide patent, design and trade mark searches and information about your competitors’ products, and our team has vast experience in handling litigation at many levels including European patent oppositions and appeals, European Community Trade Mark (CTM) oppositions and appeals, and infringement actions here and abroad.
Through the European Patent Convention (EPC) we can obtain patents in up to 31 European territories via a single application. We also operate under the Patent Co-operation Treaty (PCT), which enables applicants to obtain protection in over 100 countries worldwide from the same initial application.
From our main office in Colchester and our sub-office in Chelmsford, we are ideally placed to service the entire eastern region of the UK.
We also boast a strong international client base, which takes advantage of our close proximity to the major international gateways at Harwich, Felixstowe and London Stansted.
Our client list extends around the world, taking in Eastern Europe, and the Far East, including Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand. Sanderson & Co. is also active throughout the USA, the European Union, Japan and Australasia, and the emerging economic powers of China, India and Russia.

If you need help protecting your inventions, trade marks, designs and copyright, we can offer you our wealth of experience, while saving you from inadvertently infringing someone else’s intellectual property rights.
