“Exalt IP coached us on how to achieve amazing value for our IP assets when we sold the business and the IP separately”

Colin Hunter CEO of Potential Squared International

I have known John for many years and I value his logic, his structured thinking and his ability to make complex simple especially, not not only, in IP. Would recommend him highly as a strategic and thinking partner.

“I was fortunate enough to work with John relatively early-on in my career and look back on that time extremely fondly. John is an exceptional and instinctive mentor and coach who always brings a wealth of business and IP experience to any situation with understanding and compassion. John's ability to overlay structure and considered process to a number of complex situations was critical to the work we were doing as a team and this, coupled with John's kind nature, made it an environment I and others looked forward to working within each day, no matter the challenges we were grappling with at the time. I have no hesitation in recommending John as a Business Consultant, IP Expert or a Professional Coach / Mentor. He is a pleasure to work with and delivers his exceptional depth of expertise with simplicity, clarity and warmth.”

I believe we are very well protected when it comes to IP and many thanks to John for this. He is always warm and friendly to speak to and you always learn a thing or two from every conversation. I look forward to further collaboration. I would highly recommend John for any Business Consulting and Intellectual Property work.”

"John and I worked together as colleagues over a 2 year period, during which I got to recognize his outstanding qualities, both professional and personal. He is an energetic, self-motivating high achiever who always strives to accomplish his goals, while maintaining the interpersonal skills that ensures his effectiveness as an excellent team player. He has excellent situational analysis skills, and demonstrates a high degree of adaptability in the face of changing circumstances. In his leisure activities, he has proven his capabilities and capacity to withstand high physical demands in extreme conditions..These qualities, allied to his broad professional experience, makes him an excellent all rounder and I can strongly recommend him for positions and projects that would benefit from his skill-set."

“Exalt IP helped us develop an IP Business Plan, identify and protect the value in our IP and to enhance the value of our business” CEO MyDrive

“Exalt IP A great external resource as we build out our IP strategy”

Neil Court Johnson Vice President of Strategy at Zotefoams plc

John has played an invaluable role in assisting us to develop and implement a trade secrets programme, to identify and roll out IP best practice in process and systems - and has provided us with critical support regarding IP in real life business negotiations. I would strongly recommend John as a business partner.

I have worked with and know John for 30 years ( how scary is that.) John’s unique ability is to turn really complicated ‘stuff’ and make it not only easy to understand but to know how to act. In the field of IP and trademarks, especially in Information Technology, these skills are rare and invaluable. I always recommend that any start-up, series A/B funding and anyone with a unique code should talk with John…. It will save you millions and a load of heart-ache down the line…

John worked with me on a global programme designed to increase communication and co-operation across a multidisciplinary business development function . His project management skills - aligned with his natural drive and determination - helped to ensure that the programme was a success .

Natalia Korek MD Basck

“John and I have worked together for the last 7 years. His level of organisation, client care, business understanding and taking a pragmatic approach to Intellectual Property are all reasons why he is just pure pleasure to work with. That, and he is also genuinely just the nicest person and I always pick up his calls with a smile! John views IP as a commercial tool and knows how to use it. If your IP commercialisation position is weak, he will help you identify any challenges and work with you on setting a clear plan to address them. John has a well rounded knowledge and experience both in IP and business so you are in safe hands when being advised by John!”

Simon Webster Founder and CEO of SHUFL Capital

I thoroughly enjoyed working with John. We built two new products together, worked on challenging market and customer opportunities and had a great deal of fun along the way. John is extremely knowledgeable about the IP industry, has a strong analytical brain and is solution-oriented and focused. I hope to get the chance to work with John again in the future.

Annelie Viksten Development Manager, Energy Cluster at Skellefteå Science City

You are going to want to have a beer with John. He is fun, interesting and has deep understanding of the commercial aspects of IP. I worked with John at EY and I was deeply impressed by his high level of professionalism, people skills and ability to deliver concrete and actionable advice to our clients. John has since then supported me in my continued career as a mentor and a friend and I regard him as one of the best IP professionals there is.

Govind Kedia Managing Director - Arctic Invent

John is a great IP consultant and leader. He's always been an inspiration to work with because of his energy, broad-mindedness, detail orientation skills - all the way from my first project together when I was just starting out in this industry! It is always a pleasure to work together with John, who is an excellent IP consultant and leader. When you really get to connect with him, you'll find an incredible person with exceptional skills! Through the years, we worked on various projects and I was inspired by his manner of doing great work for the clients. Absolutely someone I love working with.

Katie Gordon Founder Katie Gordon Enterprises

I was very confused about what unregistered trademark and registered trademarks were, IP protection and simply how to protect my business and IP assets. But John made it very simple to understand and really helped me to be clear about what I needed to do and how to do it. Thank you John for leading me through the maze.

I’d like to express my sincere thank you and gratitude for the professionalism, expertise and enthusiasm you put in this project. I certainly intend to call for your services as need arise.

Lindsey Carr (Legg) Company Director at Spot Graphics and Stay Connected Digital Magazine

John was very helpful and clearly explained the difference between the intellectual property rights options. I realised how important it was to speak to John as we uncovered something big that could potentially have a huge impact on my company. Highly recommended!

Christine Jennings President at ANAQUA Services

I have worked with John for many years within the IP industry. He has an impressive ability to identify opportunities and turn these into commercial business deliverables. His creativity and business development skills lead him to be at the forefront in developing portfolio management as a key strategy for IP businesses. He's an accomplished networker and leader consistently displaying energy and enthusiasm. It's always a pleasure meeting with John and I have no hesitation in recommending him.

“We contacted Exalt IP since we wanted to review our IP policy and strategy and as a fast-growing business, developing several new products and services, we felt we needed additional assistance in what is a complicated and specialist area. John has been incredible, hosting several workshops and assisting with a strategy for the implementation of a full set of measures to protect our business and services and has consistently gone above and beyond his remit. Recently, he also successfully supported us with a serious situation facing the company, ensuring a successful outcome, and saving us a considerable sum of money.”

I highly recommend John as an IP and commercial expert. John is great in what he does and knows how to network which is good for any business. He gets the job done and any business would be lucky to have him on board.

I worked with John for over 5 years and he was our ace for large conference presentations and was even a live auctioneer for many events. John is one of the most prominent IP advisors in Europe and has a long history of driving IP deals and strategy.
