30+ Year Of Experience

Edward Humphrey-Evans – Managing Director

Edward is a European Patent Attorney and a corresponding member of the UK’s Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys (CIPA). He is also a qualified European Trademark Attorney.

He holds a degree in laser physics from the University of Essex and a master’s in microwave physics from the University of Portsmouth.

Edward began his career developing laser-welded semiconductor laser packages for local area networks and later worked as a laser applications engineer. IP became a significant focus when his company had to pay royalties for US sales due to submarine patents.*

He has extensive experience in the IP sector, having worked:

• In private practice at a medium-sized London firm

• In-house at Nortel Networks (responsible for Wireless IP in EMEA before the company folded in 2010 – its Wireless IP portfolio later sold for $4.5 billion in 2013)

• In-house at Siemens UK (covering water and gas metering systems, automotive fuel injection, and more)

• With Plessey Research and Oxford Magnet Technology

In 2004, Edward became the appointed attorney for a manufacturing company divested from Siemens, later acquired by KKR (Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co Inc.), forming the initial client base of HEIPS, now in its 21st year.

His technical focus spans:

• Mechanical and electrical engineering

• Telecommunications

• Medical devices and prostheses

• Renewable energy

• Automotive components

• Utility metering

• Ultra-low temperature refrigeration

• Optical communications

• Consumer and paediatric health products

• Mobile technologies

He handles all forms of IP: patents, designs, trademarks, copyright, licensing, development agreements, and confidentiality agreements.

Edward works with other patent attorneys in specialist areas such as chemistry and biochemistry.

Notably:

• In 2003, he instructed counsel to defend Oxford Magnet Technology (now Siemens Magnet Technology) in a patent dispute with the University of Queensland, resulting in a finding of non-infringement.

• In 2013, Nortel’s Wireless IP portfolio sold for $4.5 billion. Despite predictions, the winning bid by a consortium including Apple, Microsoft, RIM, and Ericsson exceeded expectations due to the presence of standard-essential patents.

*Submarine patents were U.S. patents that remained unpublished for extended periods under pre-1997 rules, then surfaced unexpectedly, typically to extract royalties or extend protection periods.
