Whether it is the development of novel materials and compounds, or the improvement of industrial processes to make them cleaner or more productive, chemical sciences underpin many of the aspects which are key to addressing the challenges of the 21st century. The diversity of innovation in chemistry is vast, with industry-leading companies combining resources and skills to create new products designed to solve problems and enhance our understanding.
The application of chemical sciences to research and development in materials, technologies and energy across a wide range of industries is key to improving our capabilities for manufacturing and product development.

We advise on patent protection strategy as well as clearance and freedom-to-operate in what can be very highly competitive fields.
Competition is good for product development and innovation, but means that it is crucially important that we work alongside our clients to protect their intellectual property and its intrinsic value. Creativity, innovation and inventiveness within the chemical sciences means our attorneys must stay at the forefront of technical understanding and creative thinking to formulate strategies which safeguard our clients’ interests.
Keltie is here to help clients to maximise and maintain the value of their invention with expert advice, application search, filing and protecting your interests with rigorous enforcement processes, should the need arise.
