OlsenField Fisher Waterhouse (FFW) is to launch a patent agents arm through a joint venture (JV) with
an independent firm of patent attorneys.
The London firm, which has a respected IP and patents practice, has been planning the unusual link-up for a number of months.

The firm has already applied to register Patent Priority Associates as a trademark, although Legal Week understands that this is no longer the name that is going to be used for the joint venture.
