He has a special interest in patents, but stresses that this should not be held against him. He is the author of Fundamentals of Patent Law: Interpretation and Scope of Protection (Hart, 2007), which won the inaugural Inner Temple Young Author's Book Prize.
Review Quotes: "...a very thorough introduction to the history of the patent system...this book has a place in the library of the intellectual property expert...The second part on claim interpretation and determination of scope is the fullest and most detailed analysis of this thorny issue the reviewer has come across for a while." --Paul Torremans, European Intellectual Property Review Vol 30, Issue 6
