Former Aberdeen Junior Chamber President, Craig Watson, has launched a new Patent Attorney Firm, Cranach, aimed at providing a truly local service to companies in the city.
Craig brings with him over 25 years of experience specialising in patents for the energy industry, having been one of the first charted patent attorneys in the city. He is joined by a diverse and experienced team including life scientist patent attorney Bev Ouzman as a consultant, physics graduate Milena Smith as a patent engineer, and polyglot chemist Javier Agullo Pastor as a part—qualified patent attorney. They are supported by experienced IP administrator Claire McClounnan.
The company is already busy with clients from Craig’s previous firms and new clients alike making the move to a more personal, local service.
“Cranach is a great addition to the local Patent Attorney scene.” Explains Craig “There’s a clear need for a more personal, high-quality service, with experienced local people who know the local industries and enjoy what they’re doing, and that’s what we hope to provide.”
As well as being embedded in the local industry, the team are also members of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), and the Society of Underwater Technology (SUT). Craig himself has even studied innovation and disruptive strategy online at the Harvard Business School to better understand the needs of his clients.
