Dentons

Intellectual Property

Anna is a senior trade mark attorney in Dentons' London office. She is a member of the Intellectual Property practice and advises clients on all aspects of trade mark and design prosecution, including overarching advice on portfolio management, developing bespoke filing strategies, carrying out pre-filing clearance work, filing and prosecuting intellectual property rights directly through the UK, EU and World Intellectual Property Offices, as well as working closely with Dentons' offices and preferred agents throughout the world to secure trade marks further afield. Anna also advises clients on matters of validity and infringement, and prosecutes opposition and cancellation actions at the UK and EU level, whilst working alongside other Dentons offices and our network of trusted agents to manage similar challenges globally.

Anna has more than 13 years of experience working with a vast array of companies from small startups and medium-sized enterprises to long-established multinational corporations. Her work covers all manner of industries, including retail, entertainment, publishing and software design and development, although she has a personal interest in fashion and luxury goods and has worked with a number of fashion brands, helping them protect and manage their valuable trade mark and design portfolios.

Anna graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a first class degree in Biological Sciences with Honours in Neuroscience, for which she was awarded the Class Prize. She was also awarded the John Parker Memorial Award for obtaining the highest mark in her Trade Mark practice paper, whilst qualifying as a UK and EU trade mark attorney. Anna's natural aptitude for science means she has an affinity for (and importantly enjoys) legal research, helping her stay abreast of the ever-developing body of trade mark case law.
