He also advises on dealing with suspected IP infringement. While Tim has initiated patent infringement proceedings in the English courts in the past, he always seeks to find pragmatic and commercially-appropriate strategies for resolving disputes, in as a cost-effective manner as possible

With a strong background in mathematics, he is especially well equipped to handle highly-mathematical inventions in areas such as cryptography, statistics, artificial intelligence and signal processing. In addition to drafting new patent applications, he has considerable experience in seeing patent applications through to grant before patent offices around the world, as well as advising on questions of infringement and validity.
