Mark Day

Mark Day is an Associate in the Intellectual Property group in London. His primary practice area is Patent Law, with a particular focus on patents and the international enforcement of intellectual property rights.

He works with clients across a range of sectors and intellectual property rights. He has a strong scientific background which allows him to understand the challenges faced by science and other innovation-driven businesses.

He holds a PhD in environmental microbiology, during which he worked with a leading science-based agritech company on a multi-disciplinary project investigating the impact of light on soil biology and the environmental fate of pesticides. This background allows him to provide technical input on matters which have scientific components.

His patent-related experience ranges from communication protocols and equipment (both SEPs and implementation patents), medical devices, and genome editing biotechnology. Many of the matters he is involved with involve a cross-border element, and he has been involved in matters spanning 20 different jurisdictions, appreciating the nuances between different legal systems and how different approaches can be employed to achieve the same aims for clients.
