Luke Maunder
Luke specialises in intellectual property disputes in the technology sector, with a particular emphasis on patent litigation. He has advised on a number of first instance actions in the High Court and the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court, as well as appeals to the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court. Many of his cases are multi-jurisdictional disputes, requiring a high degree of co-ordination at both a strategic and a practical level.

His cases have involved a variety of technical fields, including mobile telephony, computing, consumer electronics, biodiesel production, linear accelerators and networking/communications systems.
He has also been involved in a wide gamut of interim applications. In particular, he frequently advises on challenges to the jurisdiction of the Courts of England & Wales.
