Senior Associate, Patent Attorney Southampton
Profile of Ryan Lacey

I joined D Young & Co in 2014 having completed my master’s degree in physics at the University of Southampton. I have a keen interest in computer game technologies, with VR applications being an area of particular interest, and I enjoy being able to see first-hand how the technology in this sector develops.

Since joining the patent profession I have gained experience in the drafting and prosecution of UK, European and foreign patent applications for a variety of clients.
