EXAMPLES OF CONSULTING EXPERIENCE & CLIENT FEEDBACK
/ IP MANAGEMENT CONSULTING
JEREMY HOLMES, HEAD OF IP & EUROPEAN PATENT ATTORNEY, IP GROUP PLC
“I have known and worked with Keith for over 10 years, and during that time have always been impressed by his understanding of the IP space, his business acumen, and particularly his ability to get right to the core of what clients want, to come up with wise and pragmatic solutions, and to ensure that these are delivered to a high standard.
A particular example of this was a root and branch survey of an extensive and wide-ranging patent portfolio held by Imperial Innovations (then the Technology Transfer Office for Imperial College).
Keith ensured that a very experienced team of consultants was brought along with a clear and focussed agenda to look at our processes and suggest best practices to make it more efficient and cost effective without compromising quality.
This exercise more than achieved its goals and was very well received by senior management”

PETER CAPORN, PRINCIPAL, WRAYS,
LEADING INDEPENDENT IP FIRM IN AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND
“In mid-2022 we undertook a significant strategic European business development drive that was implemented in several stages over the following months.
The strategy employed was developed and implemented with significant input from Keith, including identification of potential clients and key individuals within those organisations, leveraging Keith’s extensive range of contacts.
I’ve known Keith for many years and he was a pleasure to work with throughout. The strategy implemented has been successful in sourcing new business from European clients.”
