Anna Bartholomew

UK and EP Patent Attorney

I am a fully qualified UK and European Patent Attorney with over 17 years experience, 13 of which are post qualified.

I have a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Exeter.  During my years as a patent attorney, I have gained experience in a broad range of technological areas including mechanics, electronics, software, and computer implemented inventions.  In particular, I have experience with Internet of Things inventions, piezoelectric elements, 3D printers, traffic monitoring systems using mobile phone cell location, touch sensitive screens, ink jet printers, medical devices and robotic hands.

I have extensive patent prosecution experience dealing with the protection of inventions from drafting patent applications, through world wide prosecution and eventual grant.  I have also experience dealing with opposition procedures in the European Patent Office.
