Paul Beynon

Paul’s strong engineering background and in-house experience makes him well positioned to offer clients commercially sensible, tailored support to maximise the value of their IP.

His clients range from start-ups and SMEs to large multinational corporations, and he acts as a lead contact for one of Appleyard Lees’ biggest clients.

Paul has significant experience drafting and prosecuting patent applications in a broad range of mechanical, software and electronic fields, including consumer electronics, aerospace, thermodynamics, green technology systems, medical devices, hydraulic systems and so on.

During a three-year secondment to the in-house patent department of a consumer products company, Paul gained valuable experience of managing a large patent portfolio. He experienced first-hand the challenges that inventors and companies face when bringing products to market.
