In the first in a series of episodes on the energy sector, Senior Associate Matthew Birch talks to Senior Associate Chloe Taylor from the Transactions team and Russell Woolley, a Senior Associate in the Chemistry team, about IP considerations when working in the energy sector. They talk about the intellectual property lifecycle and what start-up energy companies need to consider to ensure initial prototype products are protected. 

In future episodes, we consider the next stages in patent application and talk to some energy companies about how intellectual property has helped them grow their businesses.
