At the fore is eponymous director Alistair Hindle: 'very responsive and friendly, with an ability to turn things around really quickly', he understands the needs and goals of SMEs, handling the development and management of their patent portfolios across the innovation lifecycle. Fellow director Robert Gregory is a Cambridge-educated chemist who prosecutes patent applications across the spectrum of scientific disciplines and frequently appears before the EPO in administrative proceedings.
