Karl Shaw

Associate

Karl’s practice has primarily focussed on the prosecution of patents before the UKIPO and the EPO. He also has experience in drafting patent applications, managing large patent portfolios, and advising on design matters.

Karl has successfully seen a number of patents through from drafting to grant, including for robotic cleaning apparatus, internal combustion engine technologies, and mechanical devices.

His background in mechanical engineering gives him a firm understanding of various technologies. He has particular expertise in the automotive and agricultural sectors.

He has worked closely with individual inventors, start-up businesses, and multinational corporations in a variety of technologies. He is careful to always tailor his advice to the specific needs of his clients.

Karl holds a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Huddersfield. In his final year project, Karl was a designer and the project manager for the University formula student team. This involved managing a team of 30 students to design and build a prototype single-seater racing car.

Outside of work, Karl enjoys racing his motorcycle and taking long walks with his very energetic cocker spaniel.
