Originally from Yorkshire, he describes himself as \u201cproudly comprehensively educated\u201d and admits that, unlike many of his peers, he had little interest in pursuing a PhD after graduation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt the time, practically everybody on my course was looking at doing further academic study,\u201d he says. \u201cI thought, \u2018I want a proper job.\u2019\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A visit to the university careers service introduced him to a profession he had never previously&nbsp;encountered: patent law.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI filled out one of those career questionnaires, and it suggested two jobs,&nbsp;actuary or patent attorney,\u201d he explains. \u201cI\u2019d never heard of patent attorneys, but the description sounded interesting.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After researching the profession and applying to firms across the UK, Matt joined what was then Frank B. Dehn, now&nbsp;Dehns. He qualified there and later received a Gill Prize for achieving the top mark in the UK patent examinations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortly after qualifying, Matt moved to Munich to help&nbsp;build&nbsp;the firm\u2019s new office.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe spent about&nbsp;three&nbsp;and a half years there and had our children while we were in Germany,\u201d he says. \u201cIt was a brilliant experience.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Building_teams_and_businessesnbsp;\">Building teams and businesses&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Matt\u2019s career later moved into leadership and business development roles, including a period at IP21, where he helped&nbsp;establish&nbsp;a London office for what was then a start-up firm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat was a really formative experience for me,\u201d he says. \u201cIt was one of the first times I\u2019d worked alongside someone thinking purely from a business perspective rather than just from an IP perspective.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He credits that period with helping him better understand how professional services businesses&nbsp;operate&nbsp;commercially.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matt later joined HGF, where he spent around a decade leading the engineering team as the firm expanded significantly across the UK and Europe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I started leading the engineering group, it was much smaller,\u201d he says. \u201cBy the end, we had around 40 people across multiple offices, including Munich.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following a period away from full-time leadership, Matt joined Beck Greener initially in a consultancy capacity before becoming Executive Chair in 2024.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The role focuses less on direct client work and more on supporting the long-term commercial development of the business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy job is really about maximising the commercial effectiveness of the firm,\u201d he explains. \u201cI\u2019m&nbsp;not \u2018the boss\u2019 in the traditional sense.&nbsp;I\u2019m&nbsp;there to guide, support and help shape the direction of the business.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under his leadership, the firm has experienced&nbsp;strong growth, including the acquisition of another practice and significant organic expansion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Helping businesses understand the value of IP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout his career, Matt has worked with companies ranging from early-stage start-ups to&nbsp;established&nbsp;multinational organisations. He believes the approach to IP strategy changes significantly depending on the stage of the business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor start-ups, it\u2019s often about getting maximum value from limited budgets,\u201d he says. \u201cYou\u2019re helping them build something investable before they may even have a product on the market.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That uncertainty, he explains, creates a unique challenge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re trying to build a patent portfolio that could protect a future global business, but you\u2019re doing it with start-up finances.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By contrast, larger organisations often have clearer commercial&nbsp;objectives&nbsp;and established markets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith more established businesses, you usually know what the products are, who the competitors are, and where the revenue comes from,\u201d he says. \u201cThe IP strategy becomes much more closely aligned to broader business strategy.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matt has also seen the role of patent attorneys evolve&nbsp;considerably during&nbsp;his career.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYears ago, patent attorneys mostly spoke directly with technical teams,\u201d he explains. \u201cYou\u2019d spend hours discussing inventions with scientists and engineers.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, however, IP professionals are increasingly expected to communicate at board level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou now need to explain intellectual property in commercial terms,\u201d he says. \u201cYou have to answer questions about value, investment, and business impact,&nbsp;not just technology.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/patworld.com\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/matt-1-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3578 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px;
