J.P. Peel & Co Ltd is a boutique law firm providing full services for helping our clients obtain and maintain registered intellectual property rights.

Our main services are in the areas of patents, registered designs, copyright and agreements. We also offer a consultancy service to other firms of patent attorneys and to industrial patent departments. There is information about our approach to delivering our services here. In order to determine which form of intellectual property is relevant to you, we can also carry out an IP audit on your business to identify protectable forms of intellectual property to help you develop an IP strategy.

We have considerable experience of obtaining patent protection at the European Patent Office (EPO), UK IP Office and overseas. We also have extensive experience of obtaining registered design (or design patent) protection in the UK, Europe, USA and other jurisdictions.

At the EPO, we have experience of successfully representing clients at hearings before the Examining, Opposition and Appeal Divisions. At the UK IP Office, we have experience of requesting post-grant amendment of patents. Overseas jurisdictions in which we have experience of obtaining patent, utility model (where applicable) and design protection include the USA, China, India, Japan, Australia, Canada, Chile, New Zealand, Israel, South Africa and Russia. We have a network of trusted attorneys in those countries with whom we have experience of working.
