Background

About Edward Cronan

I'm a specialist IP barrister and in 2023 was 'Junior IP Barrister of the Year', at least according to Managing IP. According to Legal 500 I'm a 'Rising Star' and I'm also recommended by Juve Patent, where it's said that I'm "very good for complex topics". My recent cases include: AIM Sport v Supponor [2023] EWHC 164 (Pat)- I acted for AIM Sport in their successful patent infringement claim against Supponor, in relation to pitch-side virtual advertising technology. Nokia v OPPO & OnePlus [2022] EWHC 2814 (Pat) – I acted for Nokia, who were successful in the first UK technical trial of this multinational patent dispute. I also act on the FRAND licensing side of the proceedings. Carku v NOCO [2022] EWHC 2034 (Pat): I represented Carku, who successfully argued that NOCO’s use of the Amazon IP complaints procedure gave rise to unjustified threats of patent infringement - the first High Court trial on this issue. Advanced Bionics v MED-EL [2022] EWHC 1345 (Pat) and [2023] EWCA Civ 637 – I acted for Advanced Bionics in their successful bid to revoke a patent relating to an MRI-compatible medical device, recently upheld on appeal. Neurim v Teva [2022] EWHC 954 (Pat) – I acted for Teva, who successfully resisted an application by Neurim for an interim injunction to restrain Teva from selling its generic prolonged-release Melatonin product. Commscope v SOLiD Technologies [2022] EWHC 769 (Pat) – I acted for SOLiD, who were the successful party in this patent trial relating to digital DAS technologies for point to multipoint distribution of RF telecommunications over fibre optic cables.
