Who we are

We are a team of highly experienced patent and trade mark attorneys based in the UK and Europe and advise companies across the country and overseas in relation to their intellectual property matters. Our UK office is based in the Yorkshire market town of Wetherby which is centrally located between Leeds, York and Harrogate and is well placed to service clients nationwide.

Our attorneys are qualified engineers and scientists and share the same passion and interests as the clients we work with.

With experience acquired at much larger firms, we are able to offer the level of service and security generally expected from a large firm of patent attorneys combined with the flexibility, transparency and cost savings of a smaller firm.

Client Testimonials

We value our clients and what they say about us.

Chief Engineer, Leading Manufacturer of Upper-Limb Prosthetics

“At the start, we thought we understood the importance of patents, although we were a little intimidated by the scope of the field. With Adrian’s help, we now have a business that is free to trade, owns a strong IP portfolio including six UK patents and corresponding applications pending in Europe and the US, as well as numerous registered designs covering the UK, Europe and the US. As sales are increasing, the potential of the governmental Patent Box corporation tax relief incentive has somewhat changed our understanding of the importance of patents to UK companies.”

Technical Director, UK Engineering Company

“We have worked with Adrian for many years. His professional, friendly approach make it a pleasure to do business with him. Adrian has the ability to understand the most complex engineering issues, is able to quickly understand our initial concepts and designs, and then offer the very best advice on the most appropriate levels of Intellectual Property. Adrian’s levels of service and instruction have always been timely and efficient. We highly recommend his services.”

Director, UK Manufacturing Company

“For a startup looking to protect its IP, Adrian’s advice was invaluable; he took the time to educate us about the entire patent process and advised us on the best way to proceed given our circumstances. He then took the time to understand our business vision, our market and the products we were looking to protect while actively trying to position our patent to give our IP the maximum protection possible.”

Owner, Engineering Start-Up

“Adrian instantly got my invention and how it worked and demonstrated excellent vision for how the product may evolve in the future all of which made the patent application very comprehensive. He made a complicated process very simple and stress-free.”

Director, UK Manufacturing Company

“Many thanks for a thorough and professional service. It was a real pleasure working with you on this project. You made the whole process very smooth and free of complications.”

Managing Director, UK Drilling Equipment Manufacturer

“My first patent application in 1988 was followed by many more through several different Patent Attorneys, some successful and some not. The international patent rights I currently own are being handled with the expert assistance of Tandem Patents. Being a qualified engineer with hands-on experience, Adrian understands immediately the principle and workings behind the applications. In my experience, his personal and professional assistance and guidance are second to none.”

Director, R&D Tax Credit Consultancy

“We have worked with Adrian on several projects that span many elements of complex and interesting intellectual property rights issues. Adrian understands the growing dual use of patents (corporate tax and IP) and his advice and active technical participation has proved invaluable to us and our clients.”

Sole Inventor

“Adrian’s engineering degree and past experience working in the automotive industry as an engineer made life very much simpler for me. He not only ‘got’ what I was trying to do, but could also relate to things in an objective and honest way. Adrian ‘plays with a straight bat’ which is very valuable when you are in that ‘no man’s land’ between inventing and commercialising and between flying and failing fast. He talks sense so make sure to listen!”
