Matthew Bennett
Associate
PhD DIC, MPhys (Hons)
Matthew has a broad ranging technological background covering physics, electrical engineering, and software development. He now puts that knowledge base to use advising clients across a variety of disciplines on the full range of pre and post grant patent services from drafting to litigation.
Matthew works with a variety of clients including SMEs, universities, and government organisations, tailoring his work approach to meet their specific needs. Matthew is an expert in preparing and prosecuting patents for nuclear fusion (and ancillary) technologies, and also a specialist in software patents, including patenting artificial intelligence-based technologies.
Matthew graduated with a first class Master’s in physics from Durham University in 2011, and was awarded a PhD in plasma physics in 2015, after which he worked as an environmental consultant before joining the patent profession in 2016. He is a member of the Institute of Physics, with which he is active in providing webinars and one-to-one support sessions to help the physics community understanding patents and IP more generally.
