Harrison Goddard Foote's Scottish practice has done well since opening up three years ago, gaining a solid reputation for having noted practitioners and dedicated client services. In particular, Gary Wilson is a familiar presence before the European Patent Office for oral hearings and consistently advises clients before the opposition and appeal divisions. Medical devices producer Devro has entrusted its inventive food products patent portfolios and trade mark portfolios to Wilson for filing, and Ambicare Health is working with a team to obtain global patent protection for its portable and disposable light sources. In the past year, the firm lured over Annette Flaherty from Marks & Clerk and has picked up several new trade mark clients including Mackays Stores, Linn Products and Red Spider Technology. The firm is developing its renewables group and excels in the traditional engineering, oil and gas, construction, auto manufacturing and aerospace industries.
