YORK PLAYS HOST TO TOP INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAWYERS

On Monday 20th September, YorSolicitor, a York-based, specialist intellectual property, commercial and IT contract solicitors’ practice, played host to a group of top solo intellectual property solicitors from across the country. The event held was a training session by Westlaw IP training – a company that provides training to intellectual property lawyers for matters of online referencing.

Yorkshire has long been seen as one of the most advanced areas in the country for intellectual property, with some of the country’s top solo I.P solicitors and patent and trade mark attorneys being based in Yorkshire, and the meeting represents a rare chance for these people to congregate, learn more about Westlaw, discuss I.P issues and negotiate ways in which to keep Yorkshire at the top. Attending the meeting were James Love of James Love legal, Howard Lock of Howard Lock Intellectual property, Nick White of Tangible IP, Michael Harrison of Harrison IP and from London Barbara Cookson of Filemot.

“It’s really exciting to get some I.P experts together in York”, said Dr. Eileen McMorrow, YorSolicitor’s Principal Solicitor, “We, at YorSolicitor, are always looking for ways to get together and collaborate with other specialists in our field and we are delighted that this event provides further opportunity for this to happen”.

YorSolicitor was set-up in 2007 as York’s first intellectual property specialist practice and has helped many of Yorkshire’s young businesses get off the ground in a host of areas, varying from bioscience to web design.
