Prosecution firm J A Kemp & Co has two offices in the UK and is well known for its patent prosecution. This year it instructed on over 100 patent applications for Europe filings from India, and it took over managing Solar Print's patent portfolio and filing work from Boult Wade Tennant. In a highlight prosecution that may lead to a change in the law, a team represented Medeva BV in connection to patents related to its whooping cough vaccine. It developed a unique supplementary protection certificate filing strategy that gained audience by the UK High Court and the Court of Appeal. The biotechnology patent attorneys were busy adding value to numerous patent portfolios for clients to help them secure capital from investors. Some of these clients are Oxford Nanopore Technologies, Biovex and Circassia Holdings.
