# 42IP Business Description
42IP is a Sussex-based intellectual property consultancy specialising in patent protection and strategy. Led by Olivia Tsang, a qualified UK Chartered Patent Attorney and European Patent Attorney with a PhD in physics, the firm provides expert IP support across a diverse client base including independent inventors, start-ups, SMEs, universities, and overflow work for established IP departments and law firms.
The practice distinguishes itself through personalised, accessible service at competitive rates—a conscious differentiator from larger firms that often prioritise high-budget clients. Olivia's technical background in physics combined with extensive expertise in software patenting enables her to quickly grasp complex inventions, even in specialist fields. Her approach emphasises client education and transparent communication; rather than simply delivering work, she takes time to explain the intricacies of claims drafting and filing strategy.
42IP's core offering centres on patent matters: application drafting and prosecution, patentability analysis, filing strategy advice, and infringement opinions. The firm also provides broader IP guidance on trade marks and designs, alongside IP audits for organisations seeking to assess their intellectual property position.
Client testimonials highlight Olivia's diligence, responsiveness, and willingness to go beyond standard service. For inventors operating with limited budgets or those seeking an alternative to impersonal corporate IP practices, 42IP offers genuinely engaged, expert guidance at accessible price points.
