With a background in biochemistry and a deep interest in the intersection of science and law, Khushbu\u2019s path into intellectual property (IP) law was sparked by a unique blend of curiosity and ambition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was intrigued by the combination of science and law,\u201d she reflects. \u201cIt was quite unique in itself. When I began studying IP through a postgraduate certificate course, I realised the commercial power of intellectual property and how it helps inventors and companies bring their innovations to market. It\u2019s not just rewarding for them, but it benefits mankind and advances science and technology.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her daily work focuses on drafting and prosecuting patent applications in the UK, Europe, and globally.  Particularly within the life sciences, pharmaceuticals, chemistry, and biotech sectors.

Rather than be left behind, she chose to undertake the European Patent Litigation Certificate course. The course is an intensive program jointly run by the Academy of European Law and a European university.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was the only one in my firm who had to obtain the qualification separately,\u201d she says. \u201cIt was important to me to be on that list of UPC representatives.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UPC, she explains, is a new pan-European court established to adjudicate on infringement and validity matters of European and Unitary Patents across 18 participating countries. Prior to its creation, litigation had to be conducted in each individual country, which was costly and inefficient. Now, a single decision applies across all member states, improving accessibility and reducing costs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPerhaps the most exciting part,\u201d Khushbu adds, \u201cis that European Patent Attorneys\u2014traditionally excluded from litigation\u2014can now act in this space. It opens up huge opportunities for us.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her hands-on experience through the course, including moot trials that simulated UPC proceedings, gave her a strong grasp of this new legal landscape. \u201cI now have a deeper understanding of the new court and its processes, which I believe gives me an edge, especially in combination with the litigation experience of more senior colleagues at my firm.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Preparing for the Future&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At Cleveland Scott York, the team is well-prepared for the UPC era. With a mix of qualified UPC representatives and a track record in handling both UK and European patent litigation, the firm is positioned to offer tailored and strategic advice to clients navigating this evolving terrain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Khushbu notes a shift in client behaviour as the UPC becomes more established. \u201cMore clients are opting for Unitary Patents due to the cost benefits and wider coverage. At the same time, some are still opting out of the UPC system, often due to concerns about the risk of central revocation. It\u2019s all or nothing with the UPC\u2014if your patent is revoked, it\u2019s gone across all jurisdictions\u2014whereas before, revocation might only apply in one country. So we\u2019re seeing these two opposing trends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Perspective on Innovation&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With a scientific foundation in biochemistry, Khushbu is particularly excited about the advancements in life sciences. \u201cWhile there\u2019s a lot of buzz around artificial intelligence, I\u2019m more drawn to areas like regenerative medicine and immunotherapies for cancer. These developments have the potential to transform patient care and save lives.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also emphasises the growing investment in research by European governments, combined with the streamlined approach to patent protection through the UPC and Unitary Patent system. \u201cThis simplifies the process and makes it more accessible\u2014especially for smaller companies.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Giving Back and Looking Forward&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Khushbu\u2019s path hasn\u2019t been without its challenges. She openly shares that passing the rigorous patent exams was one of the most difficult aspects of her journey. \u201cThey\u2019re unlike any exams you take at university. It\u2019s not unusual to fail them, and it can be really disheartening.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"457\" height=\"459\" data-src=\"https:\/\/patworld.com\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Khushbu-Solanki.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3102 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/patworld.com\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Khushbu-Solanki.jpg 457w, https:\/\/patworld.com\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Khushbu-Solanki-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/patworld.com\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Khushbu-Solanki-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/patworld.com\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Khushbu-Solanki-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/patworld.com\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Khushbu-Solanki-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/patworld.com\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/Khushbu-Solanki-48x48.jpg 48w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 457px) 100vw, 457px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 457px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 457\/459;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>That experience motivated her to support new trainees. \u201cI now give regular tutorials to help others prepare. It\u2019s my way of giving back to the profession that\u2019s given me so much.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her advice to aspiring patent attorneys? \u201cBe patient. The exams are tough, but if you keep going, you\u2019ll get there. And if you\u2019re interested in litigation, the UPC is an exciting new opportunity\u2014it\u2019s the only real route into litigation for many of us.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflecting on her early years, Khushbu admits she often struggled with self-doubt. \u201cI used to compare myself to others and worry about whether I could qualify. I wish I\u2019d had more belief in myself and enjoyed the training process more. But I\u2019ve come a long way\u2014and I\u2019m proud of where I am now.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Balanced Life&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of work, Khushbu maintains balance through creativity and wellness. She\u2019s taken up sewing, which she describes as a great way to express her creative side. She also enjoys swimming, often heading to the sea in Brighton when the weather allows\u2014or to the local pool when it doesn\u2019t.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the heart of her professional life is a love of learning. \u201cI\u2019m constantly developing new skills, whether that\u2019s in IP law or helping with case management systems at the firm. That desire to grow is what keeps me going.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cleveland Scott York \u2013 Comprehensive IP Services for Innovative Businesses&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Khushbu is a valued member of Cleveland Scott York, a leading UK intellectual property firm.
