Practice Areas

Myles is Joint Head of the patent litigation department.

While his practice covers the full range of intellectual property rights it has focused in recent years upon high-tech patent litigation for multinational companies – his clients include Samsung, Google, Pratt & Whitney and ZTE. Myles is also part of Bristows' competition department with experience of handling competition disputes before the UK courts and the European Commission. His work within this department has given him considerable experience in the interface between IPRs and anti-trust issues, particularly in the telecoms sector where he has acted in a number of leading UK cases including Samsung v Apple, IPCom v Nokia / HTC, Unwired Planet v Samsung and Conversant v ZTE. This experience has meant Myles is at the front of the developing legal area of FRAND dispute resolution.

Myles' post-doctoral level engineering training particularly suits him to the more technically demanding cases within his patent practice. Recent cases within this practice have focused on the computing, telecoms and computer gaming sectors.
