Graduating in 1967 with honours in physics from
Aberdeen University Kenneth Bryer started his career
in the profession with a major firm of Patent Attorneys
in London, Boult, Wade & Tennant, which had a
reputation as one of the more active training firms.

Moving to a provincial practice, where he quickly rose
to become a partner, Kenneth was responsible for a
wide range of patent subject matter and extended his
experience to include the fields of trade mark, design
and copyright law.

Eventually, seeking new challenges he set up his own
practice, K R Bryer & Co in 1978. Starting in Cornwall,
but moving on to Bristol and then Bath, Kenneth has
developed the firm to the position it occupies today.

During his years in practice Kenneth has gained
considerable experience in all aspects of intellectual
property, including taking inventions made by private
inventors from initial conception to successful
exploitation.

As a result of his early years as a sole practitioner Kenneth
has developed additional skills and experience in many
areas of professional practice, including litigation,
licensing and negotiation in conflict resolution, both in
the UK and abroad, for clients engaged in a wide range
of cutting-edge technologies. As a result he has been
involved in bringing to a successful conclusion many
issues which had been considered impossible to resolve.

Kenneth’s professional ethos of providing a complete
range of services to clients has been promulgated
throughout the firm, so that all professional staff are
aware of the range of opportunities available for
extension, exploitation and enforcement of client’s
intellectual property rights and are trained to act on
their behalf in such matters.

Kenneth has also given lectures and seminars, on various intellectual property topics, to a variety of audiences
including universities and business groups.
