Upgrade, Improve, Refresh - We build upon scientific insights to create and support the next generation of products. We also establish a robust scientific evidence base for long term product and commercial strategies, and explore emerging science to predict its impact, helping businesses stay ahead of the curve.

Talk to us about

Consumer products and packaging - We apply deep scientific understanding to food, drink, household products, packaging, and manufacturing processes. Our team rapidly develops new products and experiences, from innovative formulations and sustainable packaging technologies to sensing systems for automation and process control.

Medical devices - Our medtech experts specialise in medical devices, diagnostics, drug delivery, surgical devices, cell and gene therapies, and regulatory affairs. We design complex systems like microfluidics and optical readers used in diagnostic systems, create advanced drug delivery devices to enable new therapies, and help with long-term product development and commercialisation strategies.

Climate technologies and green manufacturing - To address the green transition and climate change challenges, we start with solid scientific foundations to build optimised physical, digital, and commercial systems. With resilience at the heart of our approach, we help you respond to the most complex sustainability challenges. For example, we develop carbon capture and alternative fuels technologies and create manufacturing processes that better utilise waste products as part of the built environment.

Human insight and research

To thrive today, organisations need to truly understand the evolving needs, desires, and behaviours of people – whether they’re consumers, users, stakeholders, patients, or employees.

Since our founding over 80 years ago, being human-centric has been at the heart of how we solve client challenges – grounding innovation in real human needs.

We help you decode human behaviour, see clearly where opportunity exists, and understand what drives growth. In a world of shifting expectations, we create products, services, and experiences that resonate and shape markets.

We lead strategic, mixed-method research, then translate this into actionable insights that unlock new growth through breakthrough product, service, and experience innovation. Our team combines expertise in strategy, design, and behavioural science, driven by a shared passion for understanding what truly motivates people.

Some of the world’s most influential organisations have partnered with us to shape culture, set trends, and redefine how people connect, play, shop, and live well. The platforms and products we help create keep people informed, entertained, and empowered.

Intellectual property strategy and management

As the pace of technology innovation accelerates, intellectual property (IP) strategy is evolving from static protection to dynamic control, value extraction, and market shaping. The next generation of innovation leaders will be defined not just by what they invent, but by how they use IP to secure competitive advantage across legal, technical, and commercial domains.

IP is more than what your lawyer, IP attorney, or even your IP department tells you. It’s not just a legal construct – it’s a strategic asset that drives growth, shapes markets, and unlocks enterprise value.

We work with organisations who create, use, or invest in breakthrough innovation to reframe IP as a dynamic asset that intersects law, technology, and business – shaping new techno-commercial paradigms.

Our multidisciplinary expertise spans the entire IP lifecycle – from strategic creation and management to commercialisation, intelligence, and dispute resolution. We help clients maximise IP value wherever decisions are made – whether in the boardroom, the courtroom, or across the innovation ecosystem.

IP analysis - Turn IP rights into strategic clarity. We assess IP strength, relevance, and strategic fit by combining legal, technical, and commercial expertise. Our analysis supports decisions in M&A, litigation, licensing, and transactions – helping clients map risk, uncover opportunity, and unlock value across their portfolios.

IP management - Orchestrate IP across innovation ecosystems. Effective IP management aligns legal, technical, and commercial priorities. We help clients govern IP across invention capture, collaboration, and product development – ensuring strategic control and long-term value in complex, multi-party environments.

IP dispute resolution - Resolve legal complexity with technical precision. We bridge the gap between legal argument and technical reality. Our experts provide credible, evidence-based support in litigation, arbitration, and negotiation – clarifying disputes over infringement, ownership, and licensing to protect markets and preserve leverage.

IP intelligence - Transform IP data into strategic foresight. We turn patent data into actionable insight. Using advanced analytics and techno-commercial expertise, we help clients identify trends, benchmark competitors, and uncover growth opportunities – informing R&D, investment, and market entry with speed and precision.

IP strategy - Align IP with commercial ambition. IP strategy must serve business goals. We help clients align IP creation, management, and deployment with product, market, and investment decisions – ensuring their IP footprint supports growth, partnerships, and defensible market positions.

SEP research - Bring transparency to contested IP terrain. We deliver independent SEP reports across technologies such as 5G and Wifi. As long-standing ETSI members, we actively shape IP policy and standards – supporting licensing, litigation, and regulation with trusted insights that validate essentiality, challenge over-declarations, and strengthen strategic positioning.
