With more than four decades as a dual-qualified Chartered Patent Attorney and Chartered Trade Mark Attorney, Keith Loven, founder of Loven Patents & Trademarks in Lincolnshire, has built a reputation for frank, business-focused IP advice that prioritises the client’s commercial interests over billable hours. In a recent conversation, Keith reflected on his career journey, the evolving needs of SME clients, and why early, honest guidance remains the cornerstone of his practice.
From chemical engineering to a lifelong IP career
Keith’s route into intellectual property was far from planned. After studying chemical engineering at the University of Birmingham, he quickly realised that a career with large oil companies held little appeal, partly, he admits with a smile, due to the “bit of a hippie thing” prevalent at the time.
A university jobs brochure changed everything. A friend pointed out an advert for a London firm of patent agents. One rejection later, a second application succeeded, and Keith found himself in a small London office wondering what he had let himself in for.
What hooked him was the blend of skills the job demanded: technical understanding (his chemical engineering background proved surprisingly broad and useful), precision with language, and an introduction to the legal world. “Chemical engineering gave me the basics of mechanical, electrical and civil engineering too,” he explains. “When an inventor starts talking, I can usually say ‘yes, I understand the fundamentals’, that builds confidence straight away.”
SME needs: the impact of Brexit and beyond
Over 40 years, Keith has watched SME requirements shift, often driven by external forces rather than changes in the businesses themselves. The creation of the European Patent system and, for a time, frictionless EU trade encouraged many smaller UK exporters to seek broader protection. Brexit reversed that trend sharply.
“For smaller clients, exporting became harder and more expensive,” Keith notes. “Many have refocused almost entirely on the UK market. It’s not been a positive development for most of them.”
Despite political and legislative upheavals, core SME needs remain constant: affordable protection that adds genuine value and, crucially, advice they can trust.
The importance of saying “don’t file”
Loven Patents & Trademarks has long been known for telling clients when not to pursue an application, advice that is rare in some quarters.
“If there’s no commercial advantage in filing a patent or registering a trade mark, I’ll say so,” Keith states. “Clients quickly learn that we’re not just trying to sell services. That honesty builds trust, some clients have stayed with me for 25 or 30 years because they know I’ll give them the advice that’s right for their business, not mine.”
Common (and costly) pitfalls
Keith regularly sees clients arrive in crisis having launched products without basic freedom-to-operate checks. A recurring theme in recent years is UK sellers sourcing goods from platforms such as Alibaba, reassured by suppliers that “everything is fine”, only to face infringement claims weeks later.
“A little research upfront saves a lot of tears later,” he says. “Naivety isn’t an excuse when cease-and-desist letters land.”
Building long-term relationships in the SME space
Transparency on costs and options is central to Keith’s approach. “I lay out the routes forward, the pros, cons and likely costs. Clients hate surprises, so we try to eliminate them.” He also pushes businesses to think strategically: where does IP fit into the broader plan? How will it add value in three or five years’ time?
Global networks built on trust
Strong relationships with overseas attorneys are vital. “You work with people you trust to do excellent work at sensible cost,” Keith explains. “Reciprocal arrangements exist, but the real value is the mutual help, a quick call to sort a problem without an immediate invoice. Some of those relationships have lasted decades.”
Patents, trade marks and the bigger picture
When a client arrives with “a great invention” that isn’t actually patentable, Keith’s role shifts to holistic strategy: registered designs, powerful branding, or sometimes just disciplined commercial execution.
“A strong brand can protect you even when technical IP can’t,” he points out. “People assume copies will flood the market the moment they launch. Often the bigger challenge is getting anyone to notice the product in the first place.”
Giving back through CIPA
Now Chair of CIPA’s Small Practice Committee and a member of its Council and Internal Governance Committee, Keith has a deeper appreciation of the profession’s representative work.
“For years I was out in Lincolnshire, getting my CPD points and little else. Becoming involved showed me everything CIPA does behind the scenes, shaping policy, supporting members, and giving [KL1] patent attorneys a voice.” His current focus is two-way communication: helping sole practitioners and small firms understand the benefits CIPA delivers while feeding their specific concerns back to the Institute.
Looking ahead: AI and the SME challenge
Asked about the next five years, Keith highlights artificial intelligence as the dominant theme.
“Large companies are already blanketing AI-related technologies with patents. SMEs will increasingly have to navigate that crowded landscape, and avoid assuming that adding ‘with AI’ suddenly makes something inventive.”
Still enjoying the craft
After more than 40 years, what keeps Keith engaged? “It’s still fun,” he laughs. “Solving tricky examination objections, finding the argument that turns a refusal into a grant, there’s real satisfaction in that. And of course the occasional ‘thank you’ when a client realises you’ve saved them time and money.”
Outside work, grandchildren, a never-ending battle with the garden, and decades of family-history research (“they’re all peasants, no aristocrats in sight”) keep him occupied.
As Keith prepares to hand over more day-to-day responsibility to the next generation at Loven Patents & Trademarks, his core philosophy remains unchanged: give honest, commercially grounded advice as early as possible, and never be afraid to tell a client when not to file. It’s an approach that has served both him and thousands of UK innovators remarkably well for over four decades.

At PatWorld, our team of analysts are the engine behind the high-quality searches our clients rely on. This week, we’re spotlighting Geraint James, one of our Senior IP Managers, who has been with us since the very beginning. With over 11 years of experience in patent searching — and a specialism in biotechnology — Geraint is as comfortable navigating the complexities of gene therapies as he is brewing a craft IPA in his garage.
From Biology to Biotech IP
Geraint admits he never had a set career plan. Instead, he followed what fascinated him: “I’ve always chosen subjects I enjoyed — biology and biotechnology — and that naturally led me here.” After studying biology at university, he discovered the world of patent searching almost by accident. But it turned out to be the perfect fit: a role where he could combine his love of science with his analytical mind and endless curiosity about how things work.
The Searcher’s Challenge
Patent searching in biotechnology is anything but straightforward. Geraint explains: “In biotech, you’re dealing with secondary medical use claims, supplementary protection certificates, and terminology that shifts over time. The original patents might not use today’s accepted terms, so you have to think laterally to uncover everything that matters.”
This detective work is what makes his role rewarding. Whether it’s navigating freedom-to-operate searches or helping a client map their competitive landscape, Geraint thrives on finding clarity in complexity.
Supporting Innovators
For Geraint, one of the best parts of the job is working closely with innovators and their attorneys: “Hearing people’s stories is inspiring. Start-ups, in particular, bring so much passion to their inventions. Our searches help them understand the landscape, their competitors, and the opportunities ahead. That insight can make all the difference.”
One standout moment was helping an attorney provide a biotech start-up with a tailored landscape search. The client walked away with a clear view of their competitors — and a strategy for moving forward. “Knowing you’ve played a part in that journey is really rewarding,” he says.
Looking Ahead
Biotech never stands still, and neither does patent searching. Geraint points to gene therapies and CRISPR technologies as areas with enormous potential: “Personalised treatments open up innovative cures we never thought would be possible. It’s an incredibly exciting space.”
At the same time, he recognises the growing challenges posed by AI in IP — from questions of inventorship to the speed at which research is evolving. “It’s going to be one of the defining issues of the next five years,” he notes.
Beyond the Patent Files
When he’s not unravelling biotech patents, Geraint is outdoors with a fishing rod, walking his puppy Roger, or brewing his own beer. He laughs that brewing isn’t so different from his old lab days: sterilising equipment, monitoring yeast, and carefully tracking processes. “It’s all microbiology at the end of the day,” he says — though the end product is much tastier.
His other passions include cooking, cycling, and exploring the Welsh countryside. If he weren’t in IP? Geraint imagines himself as a food writer, a brewer, or even a fishing guide — though he jokes clients would need to sign a waiver promising not to expect too many fish.
Why Geraint Matters at PatWorld
At PatWorld, we believe in putting a face to the searches that underpin vital IP decisions. Geraint’s blend of biotech expertise, curiosity, and people-first approach embodies what makes our team stand out. Behind every report we deliver, there’s someone like Geraint ensuring it’s accurate, insightful, and tailored to the client’s needs.
✅ Next time you read a PatWorld search report, remember: it’s not just data — it’s the result of professionals like Geraint turning complex science into clear answers.
Artificial intelligence is one of the fastest-moving areas of technology — and one of the hardest to search. New terms appear quickly, technologies overlap across industries, and relevant prior art can be described in ways that aren’t always obvious. This means that finding the right material isn’t just about using the latest search tools. It’s about knowing where to look, what to look for, and how to adapt as the field evolves.
Our team has over 200 years of combined searching experience across a wide range of technical fields. We’ve seen AI grow from early rule-based systems to today’s machine learning and generative AI. We’ve learned how patent offices, inventors, and technical authors describe these developments. Over time, we’ve built up a practical knowledge base of how AI shows up in prior art. Including the terms, variations, and classifications that can make all the difference in finding a key document.
We’ve also developed our own proven search methodologies for AI-related prior art. These combine carefully chosen keywords with specific patent classifications, refined through running hundreds of AI-related searches for patentability, invalidity, freedom to operate (FTO), and state-of-the-art projects. This approach helps us find relevant prior art that off-the-shelf searches can easily miss.
AI search tools are part of our process, and they can be powerful — but they work best in skilled hands. Our experience allows us to guide the tools, validate the results, and ensure the search is thorough and reliable.
In a field that changes almost daily, our combination of technology and hard-earned expertise gives our clients confidence that their AI prior art searches are both comprehensive and dependable.
