associations (IP Federation, the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry, BusinessEurope, and the European Federation of

Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations). Tony has represented BusinessEurope in regular trilateral meetings (with the European

Patent Office, the US Patent and Trade Mark Office and the Japan Patent Office) and in meetings of the IP5 (the five largest intellectual

property offices in the world – EPO, USPTO, JPO, SIPO and KIPO) primarily concerned with harmonisation of patent practices between

students. He is also interested in promoting more involvement in pro-bono activities by IP professionals both in the court system and

more widely.

1976 he moved to The Wellcome Foundation working under George Szabo who became one of the original members of the EPO Board

of Appeal. He qualified as a patent agent in 1978. Whilst there he handled a diverse range of patent and agreement work in the

pharmaceutical, diagnostic, animal health, environmental health and hygiene areas, including litigation in many countries across the

world. In 1995, he joined Amersham International plc where he headed up the patent group, ultimately becoming Vice President of
