Venner Shipley’s new Cambridge office was well and truly launched on Monday 13 November with an evening’s celebration at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.
Guest of honour, Sir Hugh Laddie, gave the 240 guests the benefit of his many years as one of the UK’s most influential patent judges with his presentation on why it is important to protect intellectual property at the earliest possible time and how patents and copyrights give tangible value to ideas and inventions.
‘We have an increasing number of clients originating from Cambridge University and the high-tech companies in the area, so we took the decision to move closer to our customer base,’ says Partner Pawel Piotrowicz. ‘There is increasing concern over the importance of protecting intellectual property, particularly in the emerging new technologies and this is where we can help,’ he says. ‘Our new office is already recruiting new patent specialists and we are establishing very close working links with many embryonic and established companies in the Cambridge area.’
