What our clients say

I have found the help of Dom and Andy and their wider team in managing our IP portfolio, and developing our IP strategy to be absolutely invaluable. Much of our work is complex and involves the creation of ground-breaking software, and the team take it all in their stride, understanding the technical issues at a deep level. They are a trusted business partner, being commercially minded, and are always a pleasure to deal with; professional, engaging and knowledgeable, always striving to reach pragmatic solutions, whilst exceeding our expectations for fast turn around times.
Senior Legal Counsel
Oxford University spin out company
We engaged Impact IP to shape and manage our IP strategy, and they have delivered consistently exceptional support. Dom, Vicki, and the wider team took the time to thoroughly understand our technology and commercial roadmap, developing a tailored approach that goes beyond IP protection. We value the way Vicki has helped us structure our agreements to robustly safeguard our IP while still giving us the flexibility to engage a range of stakeholders as we scale and deploy. Andy keeps the team well informed and supported with the implementation and management of our IP portfolio. What sets them apart is their ability to spot risks that could easily be overlooked and provide the best advice at every stage. We really value their expertise and responsiveness in providing what we need and when we need it.
Motoaki Sumi
CEO, Ascension Earth Resources Ltd
What distinguishes Impact IP are their expertise and focus on detail. They really understand and get into the detail of the science of our processes, so they can work out the best protection strategy for each one. We’re incredibly grateful for the expert support we have received from Dom and the team, and would recommend them to any science company looking to protect their IP.
Andy Clayton
CEO & Co-Founder, Fermtech (Alternative Protein for the Food Industry from Fungal Fermentation)
I brought in Dom and Rosie on a recommendation to help with IP Strategy. Initially, they handled the IP licensed in from Oxford and latterly our own IP. They've been efficient, responsive and hugely helpful as we have grown from a new Spin Out to an SME of over 70 employees. They look after the tactical aspects of our patents & trade marks, somehow manage to deliver 'popular' IP Training and set up a Trade Secrets system. They provide strategic advice to the SMT in a way that I can take to the Board.

Working with Dom and Vicki has been a real pleasure. They have been open and willing to engage in the creative process, exploring a range of possible outcomes whilst having a clear vision of what they want to achieve. Their creative bravery matched with a keen eye for detail make them an ideal client to work with. Both Vicki and Dom are great communicators, combining their expertise alongside a friendly and approachable manner. I have loved creating their brand together and continue to enjoy our creative collaboration.
Bob Patten
Creative Director, Patten Design
As a spinout from Oxford University we were looking for IP experts that were experienced with frontier technologies that have been licensed from a university stakeholder. Dom and his team have provided excellent support for us as we’ve grown – with topics ranging from managing our developing IP portfolio, to training our technical team about how to handle IP, through to mapping out strategies for new patent filings. They have been proactive, communicative, and operate like an extension of our own team. I’d highly recommend them.
Ross Hendron
CEO & Co-Founder, Wild Bioscience
Impact IP are like our own IP department. They understand our business and offer practical advice on IP strategy, for example when to use trade secret or know-how routes instead of patenting, balancing protection with cost. They provide training to our R&D teams that is tailored to our own examples and make themselves available for customer or investor meetings when required.
Ann Kramer
CEO, The Electrospinning Company Limited
We needed guidance on how to go about identifying and managing our IP assets. Yasmin quickly understood our business and was able to help to identify those categories of assets that are less familiar and intangible. She provided a practical steer on how to analyse asset categories and to assess whether registration was appropriate with useful context on the associated law. We needed this exercise doing pretty promptly and over the Christmas and New Year period. She committed to deliver and did so in an engaged way. Thoroughly enjoyed the journey.
