Arun Roy

Invention is creation and, as a patent attorney, I am privileged to have a role helping innovators produce, share and be recognised for their creative work in the world of technology.

I am a highly experienced member of our electronics and mechanics team, with particular expertise in imaging, telecoms, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, video games, sports tech, medical devices and fintech. I am an expert in navigating the often complex path to obtaining patents for computer-implemented inventions at the European Patent Office (EPO).

I have many years of experience writing new patent applications and helping get patents granted at the EPO, UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) and other patent offices around the world. This includes regularly representing clients at oral proceedings before the EPO.

I also have in-house experience, having completed a secondment with the industry-leading in-house patents team of a blue chip organisation. This gave me a better understanding of the essential work in-house patent teams do. It also gave me an appreciation of the need for outside counsel to be trustworthy, proactive and adaptable to provide the best assistance they can to their clients.

I enjoy meeting and learning from new people and regularly travel overseas to build and grow relationships with clients, potential clients and professional colleagues in other jurisdictions. I also have the pleasure of chairing some of the excellent webinars provided by the Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys (CIPA). This gives me the opportunity to meet some of the most talented people across our profession and help them share their knowledge and insights with others.
