About Us

Douglas Rankin
Founder
Douglas and Steve have huge experience helping tech businesses achieve their commercial goals through pragmatic use of Patents and other IP. They are serious players in the IP sector who enjoy bringing a down to earth and personal touch to their relationships with clients and people. They give the highest quality advice without the old-fashioned stuffiness you’re likely to see elsewhere.
They have both previously been in senior management positions at Marks & Clerk LLP, each serving on the Board of Management. From there, they had a good look at the IP sector and it was clear that the established firms simply weren’t serving their clients or their people as well as they should be. They want to give a better experience for both and have set up Matter to do that.
About us
Many technology businesses are unhappy with the service they receive from their current patent firm. They’re frustrated by surprise invoices that cause budgets to overrun, they’re swamped by a ton of complicated emails and they struggle to get their firm to help them deliver on a broader IP plan for their business.
We use an innovative fixed fee structure to guarantee budgets won’t overrun. Also, the way we work and the technology we use cuts out around 80%-90% of the email burden on you. On top of that, we will support you to gain the internal capability to manage all of your IP confidently and make sure that your IP plans stick.
At Matter, we don’t think you should suffer poor service because your patent firm refuses to modernise, and we’re here to make sure you don’t have to.
So get in touch to arrange a meeting. We’ll assess your IP and patent needs , work out a solid plan for you, and work with you to make sure that plan is realised.
