Archer-IP was created by Graham Archer with the specific intention of delivering candid, clear and action orientated service at a level of fees that are always reasonable, appropriate and transparent. 

Before becoming a Patent Attorney Graham was a computer programmer.  Though these might seem like two very different professions they are not.  Both are very exact disciplines that involve covering every possibility.

Graham’s clients have included companies such as Lavazza, Stanley Black & Decker, McAfee, Sega, Philips, Mainetti (the world’s largest producer of garment hangers and retail and accessories) and Henry Squire & Sons (lock manufacturers).

A lot of this work has involved the filing of UK patent applications, filing in Europe and in the US as well as filing in some less common place territories.

Tom is a PhD physicist (Medical Physics, Newcastle University), with a Dipl.-Ing. (Munich University of Applied Sciences) in Engineering (Technical Physics) and a BSc(Hons.) in Applied Physics (Nottingham Trent University). Together these give him a strong grounding in engineering and physical sciences, backed by over two decades of experience drafting and prosecuting patents across Europe and worldwide.

His technical range is broad, covering everything from everyday consumer products through to semiconductors, medical devices, sporting goods, power tools, and oil & gas technology, built up across several established European IP firms.
