Partner

Gillian handles patent work in the chemical and general mechanical fields, including food technology, the tobacco industry, manufacturing processes, wind turbine construction, building materials and packaging.

Gillian joined Reddie & Grose in 2003 and became a partner in 2011.

Gillian’s clients include a number of multinational corporations, and Gillian accordingly has considerable experience of filing, prosecuting, and managing patent portfolios in a large number of countries around the world.

Gillian regularly provides infringement opinions and clearance searches for her clients, and advises on obtaining design protection internationally. She is also very experienced at drafting new patent applications and has assisted clients with invention harvesting.

Gillian has spent nine months on secondment for a large multinational company in Switzerland, and a number of weeks at a firm of Japanese patent attorneys in Tokyo gaining experience of Japanese patent practice.
