Intellectual property consultancy Novagraaf UK has expanded its patent team with the hire of IP expert Dr Peter Wilson.
Wilson will be providing patent services to businesses in south east England, from Novagraaf’s Norwich office.
Wilson is a qualified UK and European patent attorney with a decade’s experience providing IP consultancy services to the academic sector and start-up companies, specialising in life sciences, medical devices, engineering and software.
Before his training in IP law, Wilson worked as a research scientist for 16 years. He holds a BSc Hons in food processing technology and a PhD in mathematical modelling of microbial growth; he has joined Novagraaf from IP21.
At Novagraaf, Wilson will be advising clients across a wide range of technical disciplines, including biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, green technology and mechanical engineering.
“The Norwich region is a major source of scientific research and innovation, with a number of world-leading academic research institutes, an important and growing technology sector, and a proven track record in the sector of green energy,” said Wilson. “I’m looking forward to working with businesses and academics in those sectors to help them to capture and protect that important innovation.”
Dr Tracey Cooke, managing director, patents at Novagraaf UK, commented: “Dr Wilson joins us at a time of important growth in Novagraaf ’s patent group. Our role is to work closely with our clients to provide solutions that will protect and maximise the value of their IP and ensure their freedom to operate in the future.
“Dr Wilson’s background and his experience providing IP training to academics and entrepreneurs makes him ideally placed to provide the support and assistance needed by our growing client base.”
