Tim Higgs
I joined the patent team at D Young & Co as a technical assistant in 2019, having previously worked as an intellectual property consultant.
Before joining D Young & Co, I worked as an Intellectual Property consultant working closely with in-house IP teams in a broad range of companies and technology sectors, on projects directed to IP activities such as commercialisation, acquisition, searches, and portfolio optimisation etc.
Prior to this I completed my PhD in Astrophysics at the University of Portsmouth. My doctoral research was directed to studying optical and near-infrared properties of the most massive galaxies in the universe when the universe was half its current age.
