Erica Dutton is the Azright specialist in patents involving technology and telecommunications, having a degree in physics from Imperial College and a MSc in medical physics from Aberdeen University. She is also a European (and Chartered) Patent Attorney, having qualified in 1986. She has worked primarily in industry but has significant experience in private practice, having spent three years with one of the largest Australian firms (Davies, Collison, Cave). She was the first British patent attorney to pass all the Australian exams at first attempt. Returning to the UK, she joined BT with responsibility in opto-electronics and software-based inventions, being one of two attorneys tasked with developing a software-based patent portfolio. In 1998 she became Head of Patents and thus one of a team of three running the firm’s Patent Division, deciding to become independent in 2001. Since then, she has provided patent services to a wide range of clients, from independent inventors to large corporates, in a wide range of technologies including: fixed, Internet and mobile network-based systems and communications, equipment, software and devices; information processing, imaging and artificial intelligence; optoelectronics and medical physics equipment; engineering and mechanical equipment.
Michael Harrison is head of the Azright Patent department, and has a doctorate in chemistry from Oxford University and is a European (and Chartered) Patent and Trademark Attorney with over 35 years experience in Intellectual Property. He has worked in several leading IP practices including Boult Wade Tennant, Urquhart Dykes & Lord, DLA Solicitors and Harrison Goddard Foote. His fields of interest embrace patents (including mechanical and chemical), trademarks and registered designs. He manages the IP of a significant international company and advises that company and others on IP strategy. He believes that while patents may often be seen by inventors and businessmen as mysterious, this is mainly due to the jargon involved. The job of the patent attorney is to translate the complex language in which patents are framed into simpler every day language. Also the complex array of choices available at different stages of UK and foreign patent applications should be presented in a manner that the client can understand well enough to make informed commercial decisions. These decisions can have a major impact on the success or failure of the business. Michael is a Past President of the Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys.
