We also congratulate Fabian Bor, Emily Hofmann, Kyle Struthers-Burgess, Philip Reid, Mahdi Godazgar, Francesca Suèr on their passes in the UK final patent exams. Sam Exton’s successes in his exams mean that he has now completed the foundation modules.

It has also been another outstanding year for those enrolled in the Postgraduate Certificate in IP Law at Queen Mary, University of London. All our candidates achieved exceptional results. Congratulations to Mary Kate Rylands who was awarded the Burrell Prize for Excellence, and to Lisa Joseph, Charlotte Rigden and Tom Farshi on their success!
