Free advice clinics during London Technology Week 2015

Following the success of our clinics in 2014, Slingsby Partners is again bringing its expertise to London Technology Week by offering free intellectual property advice clinics throughout the week. Members of our experienced team of patent attorneys are available for a one hour meeting to advise you on all aspects of intellectual property. Meetings will be free of charge and are available Monday 15th to Friday 19th June between 9am and 6pm.

Some of the areas we can advise you on include:

●  protecting your products, services and ideas using patents, designs and trademarks;

●  dealing with patent threats and the risks posed by your competitors’ IP;

●  using intellectual property to attract investment;

●  collaborating with others to develop your product.

Whether you are a start-up or an established company, we can guide you through the complexities of intellectual property with pragmatic and commercially-minded advice.
