About Us

Masters in the art of protecting your creativity.

We started Downing IP in 2012 because we felt that protecting intellectual property rights was just that. A right. And that it should be simple and affordable, for every inventor, designer, thinker, innovator, entrepreneur and business professional to have fair access to justice. Only with that aim as ‘a right’ can society encourage invention and innovation without the fear that a competitor may steal your idea or take underserved credit for it.

Who are our clients?

We work with companies across a broad spectrum of interests from SMEs to large organisations and multi-national corporates. But they all have one thing in common: they want to work with an intellectual property expert who can offer a wealth of experience and knowledge of how the intellectual property systems of the world work. And how we’re able to apply that knowledge with trust and understanding to the challenges they face.

As an independent firm of patent attorneys, we specialise in patents, trade marks and design protection, representing our clients in UK and European intellectual property matters.
