BD support for patent and trade mark attorneys

Today the clients of IP firms don’t just want technically good attorneys. Clients want attorneys who have the required sector expertise and a willingness to do whatever is needed to maximise the commercial value of their ideas. Getting that across successfully will involve taking a much more focused approach to marketing and business development. This is where we can help.

We help patent and trade mark attorneys improve their business development

In the past patent and trade mark attorneys have been able to get by on technical expertise, reputation and location alone. Unfortunately that’s no longer the case.

Competition, not only domestically but also from abroad, and the threat of online filing solutions means attorneys now have to work harder than ever to win new business and keep the clients they already have.

We asked Size 10½ Boots to interview a number of our most important clients. Their professional approach and obvious understanding of the legal and intellectual property sectors combined to provide us with a level of insight into our commercial relationships we simply would not have otherwise gained.
