Andy Attfield – Chartered UK and European Patent Attorney at Reddie & Grose LLP

Protecting IP within the space sector can be particularly challenging and throw up unique problems due to the often highly international collaborations and even the extraterrestrial nature of lots of the activity.

There are additional complexities regarding protecting space related inventions due to the territorial nature of patents. Andy will discuss how, where, and why inventions in the space sector can be protected and what steps companies need to take to protect their innovations. He will also discuss topics such as Patent Box and Innovation and IP for Startups and SMEs.
