An Introductory word from John Hardwick

 

EPA       CPA     OHIM (EU) registered          Patent Trademark & Design Attorney

 

Welcome to the Exxapatent website.  Thank you for your visit.

 

I, personally,  have been in the Intellectual property field since 1978, when I changed from a practicing mass production senior electronics design engineer with Burroughs Corporation in the computer magnetic memory field. Starting as a Patent Engineer, I eventually became Senior European Patent Counsel for Unisys Corporation dealing with US and European/UK patents and was responsible for searching, advising, filing, prosecution and trademark co-ordination and filing throughout the world.

 

I have experience in all aspects of patents for electrical, electronic, IT, IP and mechanical apparatus; telecommunications, oil wells; computers; optical, Internet, radio and satellite communications; photocopiers; printers; precision and micro precision positioning and velocity control; medical diagnostic methods and medical apparatus; image and character analysis; and magnetic materials, to name but a few. I have experience with licenses and assignments.  I have also been involved with computer software copyright in the EU, being a founder signatory for ECIS.

 

I also provide infringement opinions and assessments, and general advice.

 

Since 1996 I have worked for ICO, a satellite communications company, and in private practice. I have strong experience in Japanese origin Patents before the EPO. I also have strength in UK and European Design and Trademarkk registrations.

 

In providing Intellectual Property services to out clients, I use the best expert I can call upon to meet our client's needs. It is our intention to provide courteous, careful and comprehensive service. We hope, if you should choose to use us, to provide you with every satisfaction.
