Before entering the patent profession, Anthony worked as a process chemist in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical fields. As an attorney, Anthony has developed his experience across a wide range of technologies, focusing on small molecule chemistry in particular (including synthetic processes and formulation).
Anthony has experience across all aspects of patent practice, especially drafting, freedom to operate analyses and patent prosecution, both before the European Patent Office and throughout the world, and has also been involved with the management of large patent portfolios.

Patents, plausibility and data: one year on from G 2/21On 23 March 2023, the European Patent Office (EPO) Enlarged Board of Appeal (EBA) published its decision in case G 2/21, concerning plausibility in patent applications. The decision provided useful guidance on how much data needs to be disclosed in a patent application to overcome objections based on the grounds of lack of inventive step and insufficiency. One year on, we take a look at how the EPO has been applying this standard in the life sciences field.
