BIOGRAPHY
With over 18 years of experience as a European and UK patent attorney, Kelly has a technical background in Physics and has studied at Wolverhampton University, Imperial College London, and Kings College London.
After finishing her studies Kelly went on to use her technical knowledge to make security holograms at De La Rue. Her claim to fame is the making of the security holograms for the £5, £10, and £20 notes for the UK. She then carried out R&D for the other two major security hologram manufacturers in the UK, namely Applied Holographics and Light Impressions where she came across patents for the first time.
After 5 years in the industry, Kelly decided to pursue a career in patents and worked in-house part-time as an IP harvester at Bookham Technology PLC, the other half of her time being taken up in private practice training as a patent attorney.
Kelly is working with clients of all sizes in the UK and abroad in a wide range of technologies. She particularly enjoys getting to grips with new technology and interacting with inventors.
