Symbiosis IP is now part of Gateley IP: what this means for MediWales members

MediWales members who have worked with Symbiosis IP can continue to access the same trusted life sciences and chemistry patent attorney team, but now with the added advantages that come from being part of Gateley IP. Gateley IP brings together the specialist patent and trade mark attorney practices of Symbiosis IP, Adamson Jones and Groom Wilkes & Wright under a single brand, creating a dedicated intellectual property group with greater scale, broader ability and a stronger commercial offering for innovative businesses.

Same deep technical ability in the life sciences

For companies operating in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, healthcare technologies and chemistry, one of the biggest benefits is enhanced access to specialist technical expertise. Symbiosis IP has long been recognised for its deep understanding of life sciences and chemistry innovation, supporting organisations ranging from university spinouts and start-ups through to multinational pharmaceutical businesses. The team has extensive experience across biologics, antibodies, vaccines, gene therapies, personalised medicine, drug delivery technologies, small molecule therapeutics, diagnostics and wider chemical technologies.

Added expertise in emerging technology, including in AI and software

With Symbiosis IP being part of the wider Gateley IP team, Bionow members can now draw upon an even broader pool of patent and trade mark attorneys across multiple technical disciplines. This includes significant expertise in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, software and digital innovation, which are increasingly converging with life sciences through areas such as drug discovery, digital health, diagnostics, medical devices and laboratory automation. The result is access to multidisciplinary teams capable of supporting innovation at the intersection of biological sciences, chemistry, engineering and software.

Access to a wider range of IP, legal, and commercial expertise via Gateley

The move also provides access to a wider suite of legal, strategic and commercial services through the broader Gateley group. In addition to patent, trade mark and design protection, clients can benefit from support in areas such as IP disputes, licensing, commercial contracts, due diligence, investment readiness, IP valuation, Patent Box, corporate transactions and wider business growth strategies. This creates a more seamless experience for businesses as they evolve from early-stage research through to commercialisation, fundraising, international expansion and exit.

Joined-up strategic IP

Ultimately, Gateley IP offers a more joined-up approach to intellectual property. By combining specialist IP expertise with wider legal and commercial insight, the team helps clients not only protect innovation but also maximise its value. For Bionow members, this means access to integrated advice that aligns IP strategy with commercial objectives, helping innovative businesses build stronger portfolios, attract investment, enter new markets and achieve long-term growth.
