Kilburn & Strode is a top-tier European IP firm that protects value for some of the world’s most innovative organisations. Established in 1906, we have grown to become one of Europe's leading patent and trade mark firms.
We believe in tailoring our approach to fit each client and we thrive on the challenge of helping them to navigate the complex world of patents, trade marks, designs and copyright.
We work with clients from just about every industry sector. This means that day to day our attorneys are dealing with a hugely diverse and constantly changing range of intellectual property issues – new technologies, evolving consumer behaviours and shifting business practices.
We add value by using our knowledge of our clients’ businesses to get the focussed protection they need, using creative filing strategies to circumnavigate the prior art, rather than treating patent prosecution as an academic exercise.
Our clients apply the successful outcomes we deliver in Europe to their global patent portfolios to give a cost-effective, streamlined and consistent approach for getting defensible protection worldwide.
We became leading European experts in worldwide portfolio management by getting to know our clients across a broad range of industries, technologies and institutions. By working working closely with them, we go a long way in helping to protect the integrity of their trade marks and designs.
Reflecting our commitment to reach out to pioneering and disruptive companies in San Fransisco, Silicon Valley and across the United States, we're the first European IP firm to be able to work on the ground in California.
With 33 PhDs/DPhils and 113 Master’s degrees among our attorney credentials, we have the unique technical and legal expertise for any challenge.
Everything flows from our people: really understanding our clients’ points-of-view to give them an excellent experience, creating a friendly and innovative culture where like-minded people want to train and work, and obsessing over the detail. That’s the personality of our firm and what, we believe, makes us different.
