Harry Strange joins the partnership at Withers & Rogers

One of the firm’s experts on matters of software engineering and AI-related patentability has been promoted to the partnership at European IP firm Withers & Rogers.

With a doctorate in machine learning and a background in software engineering, Harry Strange joined Withers & Rogers from a role as a module coordinator for various courses in advanced technologies at University College London in 2017. He also held a research fellowship in biomedical image analysis.

Since qualifying as a patent attorney in 2022, Strange has advised numerous blue-chip clients, as well as smaller entrepreneurial businesses on how to protect their intellectual property and commercialize their innovations globally. He has specific knowledge of the complex issues that can arise for companies using GenAI and machine learning to innovate or those seeking to protect their GenAI outputs, and he supports them in building a robust IP portfolio.

Fiona McBride, Chair and Partner at Withers & Rogers and a member of CITMA, said: “Harry has a natural ability to get under the skin of his clients, to understand the technologies they are developing and the methods used. This has made him a trusted IP partner and an inspirational contributor to the firm’s expanding AI group.

“With data analytics and AI modeling so widely applied across industry sectors, businesses increasingly need to understand what they can and can’t protect commercially and how to go about it. Harry’s background in AI and machine learning makes him the perfect guide, and his commitment to knowledge sharing internally has enriched our consumer electronics and computer technology teams.”
