Dehns announces its merger with KGP, a German firm of patent and trade mark attorneys with whom Dehns has enjoyed a close association for more than 20 years, and with whom there has been a formal joint venture, “Dehns Germany”, since 2013.

Dehns is delighted to have retained its ranking in the 2021 WTR (World Trademark Review) publication. In addition, Trade Mark partner Elaine Deyes was awarded an individual gold-ranking for her prosecution and strategy work, while Head of the Dehns Trade Mark team Roberto Calamita, and Trade Mark partners Joseph Letang and Clare Mann were also singled out for high praise for the quality of their work and their client focus.

We are delighted to announce that Dehns has recently acquired Leogriff, one of Norway’s leading Intellectual Property (IP) Consultancies.

The EUIPO has become aware of a new fake renewal invoice that is in circulation, and that uses the EUIPO’s logo, name, acronym and address, so looks pretty convincing.

Today, the United Kingdom has formally withdrawn from the Unified Patent Court (UPC) system.

This week it is Mental Health Awareness Week.  This serves as a timely reminder that, particularly during the current coronavirus crisis, it is important that we are all looking after our mental health.

Dehns is delighted to partner with Mind, the mental health charity. Mind provide advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem. They campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding. Chosen by our employees, we are committed to supporting this worthy cause throughout 2020.

Dehns is delighted and proud to report that as a result of his performance in the UK Qualifying Examinations held in October 2018, the CIPA Council has awarded David Leverett, Technical Assistant in the Dehns Engineering Group, the Gill Prize for the candidate with the highest aggregate score of all UK examinees in FD1, FD2, FD3 & FD4.

As a diverse and inclusive workplace, we are extremely proud of the support and development we offer our female employees. What better time to celebrate the achievements of the women in our firm than International Women’s Day (IWD).
