The IP Works by Devon
The Paddock

Where the thinking gets written down.

Writing on intellectual property for people who run businesses rather than law libraries. Short, useful and in plain English, filed into three columns so the good stuff is easy to find.

Scrutineering
The technical column

Patents, trade marks and decisions stripped down and inspected part by part. What was really claimed, what was really decided, and what it means for everyone else.

Coming soon
The Pit Wall
The strategy column

Good decisions are mostly good timing. When to file, when to fight, when to settle, and when to let a right lapse and bank the budget. The judgement calls that decide whether a portfolio performs or merely costs.

Coming soon
The Gravel Trap
The cautionary column

Names lost, patents voided, secrets walked out of the door. Incident reports from IP's most expensive accidents, written up so you can study the wreckage without ever joining it.

Coming soon

The first pieces arrive autumn 2026. Want to hear the moment they land? Say so and we'll drop you a line.
