26 November 2025 - Patent Pending to Patent Powerhouse: How does patent strategy vary with company s

Kilburn & Strode is delighted to invite you to our upcoming virtual panel discussion and Q&A event for in-house counsel.

Patent strategy isn't static – it should evolve with your company. What matters most to a Fortune 500 company might be irrelevant to a startup. Our IP strategies need to be living, breathing plans which grow and change as the business grows and changes. 

In this virtual discussion, we will be reflecting on strategic considerations for patent strategy with in-house IP decision makers.

On our panel, we are delighted to be hearing from:
 
  • Dominic O’Brien, Vice President IP & Chief IP Counsel at Cytiva
  • William Ellyatt, Senior Patent Attorney at Convatec
  • Callum Stephen, Patent Attorney at Optos
We will take a deep dive into the important questions that in-house IP decision makers face at different-sized companies, including:
 
  • How do patent filing decisions and filing strategies vary with company size and resources?
  • What are the differences in how differently sized companies should aim to utilise their IP?
  • What are differences in how differently sized companies conduct market analysis and risk assessment?
There will also be a Q&A, so come and ask your own question to the experts!

The discussion will be chaired by Barbara Durling, along with Chris Poll, of Kilburn & Strode.

Join us for this illuminating and thought-provoking discussion for valuable insight into in-house IP decision making.

We hope you can join us.
