Celebrating our Diamond Anniversary
This article was taken from the Venner Shipley Newsletter edition 21
In May 2007, Venner Shipley celebrates its diamond anniversary, following a year of unprecedented expansion.
Ten partners and associates have joined the team and a new office has been opened in Cambridge.
The business was started in 1947 by Harold Venner and, from the start, represented European clients. Steady expansion pulled in blue-chip clients including lens maker Carl Zeiss and Rael-Brook, the inventors of the drip-dry shirt!
With huge experience spanning electronics, life sciences, software and mechanics, Venner Shipley is one of the leaders in its field and, in 2006, Venner Shipley was rated by the Legal 500 to be in the top ten London firms of Patent and Trademark Attorneys.
‘My father had the vision to see the increasing need for patent and trademark protection in the post-war world,’ says Alan Venner, partner and Registered Trade Mark Attorney. ‘In a world that is becoming ever smaller, with instant communications and more and more opportunities for the theft of intellectual property, our service takes on even greater significance.’
