who we are

Abel & Imray is a leading firm of Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys handling all aspects of intellectual property. We advise clients ranging from multinationals to smaller companies in all aspects of obtaining, using and enforcing patents, registered trade marks, registered designs and other related rights. All of our Patent Attorneys have specialist knowledge and experience in one or more technical fields, and our patent work covers all areas of technology. We also have a strong team of trademark and registered design specialists.

Abel & Imray's head office is situated in London, which has excellent transport links to the European Patent Office's locations in both Munich and The Hague. The location of our office also gives us easy access to the services of London solicitors, barristers and accountants specialising in intellectual property matters, as well as to the London branch of the Patent Office and to the Law Courts. In addition, we have an office in Munich near to the European Patent Office, as well as offices in Cardiff and Bath, from where we serve many clients in South Wales and South West England.

The firm has well-known international clients, many of whom have been our clients for over half a century. This loyalty reflects the firm's policy, which is to provide high-quality service, at acceptable cost, to all its clients, whether large or small. We firmly believe that policy to be of great benefit to our clients, with our emphasis on quality being rewarded by an excellent track record of success in even the most difficult cases.
