I’ve worked with Kevin since 2019…

I’ve worked with Kevin since 2019 before he had even started Panoramix. He has been a reliable and invaluable partner, protecting my IP over a number of products including Trademarks, Design Registration and Patents. I will continue to work with him, and his team, for many years to come.

First rate IP lawyers

I always recommend my clients use Panoramix when they are looking into any IP or trademarking matters for their companies, regardless of whether it’s for the UK, EU or another territory. The team are absolutely first rate, extremely knowledgeable and very professional in all their dealings.
Many business owners are not certain of what they can and can’t register as IP/TM, so Kevin and his team guide them through what can be a minefield, brilliantly.
I would absolutely suggest an initial call with the team for anyone serious about protecting their company’s IP assets.
