Two IP is a full service IP firm but we are definitely not a traditional intellectual property firm. At Two IP we believe passionately in two things: giving our clients and colleagues a better way of working; and finding the time and space we all need to think a little differently.
Two IP is a ‘new breed consultancy model’ patent and trade mark firm, which enables patent and trade mark attorneys to work for their own clients whilst benefiting from the experience of the Two IP team and the support of the Two IP ecosystem of back office, patent and trade mark formalities, and business development advice.
Having worked in a variety of IP firms, we have seen what works for clients and what doesn’t. This made us think that what should be improved can be improved.
We have used everything we’ve learned to create a better, more productive working environment for our clients – a more collaborative working world that allows you and your attorneys all the time and space you need to find the very best way forward.

Thank you for your contribution to help us promote discussion on this very important topic.
Thinking about setting up on your own?
Our founder and director Anna Molony has done it, twice. And it’s harder than it might at first appear.
That’s why Anna set up Two IP – so other patent and trade mark attorneys can enjoy the benefits of being their own boss, without all the hassle.
This is what some of our patent and trade mark attorney consultants say about the benefits of building a practice with Two IP:
✅ “It's less isolating, so rather than striking out by yourself, and you literally are on your own, the benefits of Two IP is that although we are a group of consultants, we have this cross dialogue”
✅ “I really would strongly recommend Two IP. It provides all the control and flexibility of working for yourself within an infrastructure already set up and tested”
✅ “The Two IP model frees you to live the life you want, without any compromise in the service you give to clients.”
✅ “Anna’s help and support in setting up is invaluable”

Two IP founder and director Anna Molony is looking forward to chairing a panel discussion about supporting staff well-being, mental health and work-life balance on World Mental Health Day (10th October).
This webinar is jointly hosted by IP Inclusive, The Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys (CIPA), The Chartered Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys (CITMA) and Jonathan's Voice.
The panellists come from a range of different working environments and will talk about the challenges they’ve faced in supporting staff wellbeing, mental health and work-life balance.
They will also share some of the solutions that their organisations and departments have implemented, and discuss the role that hybrid working can play in delivering them.
There will then be an opportunity for the audience to share their own experiences and solutions, and to ask the panellists questions.

Thinking about striking out on your own?
Our directors Anna Molony and Donnacha Curley have done it, multiple times in fact.
In their experience, this is what you’ll need to set up your own patent or trade mark firm:
➡ Your limited company
➡ IPReg registration
➡ Professional indemnity insurance
➡ Agreement with another firm/attorney to provide backup cover
➡ Business bank account
➡ Accountants and bookkeeper
➡ Case and document management system
➡ Time recordal/billing system
➡ Company website
➡ Company credit card and/or IPO/EPO/WIPO deposit accounts to pay official fees
➡ Someone to act before EUIPO (because you can’t do it yourself anymore)
➡ Office 365 and IT support
➡ Phone number and phone answering service
➡ Desk, computer, broadband (and probably a printer and a shredder)
➡ Good client/referrer contacts and the ability to bring in client work
Or you could join Two IP as a consultant attorney and build your own IP practice with our full operational support.
We’ll help you with pretty much everything – you just need to provide the last two items on this list.
