Fish's John Pegram Quoted in WIPR Article, "IP and 'Brexit': too much uncertainty and the devil you know"

John Pegram (New York) was quoted in a World Intellectual Property Review (WIPR)article, “IP and 'Brexit': too much uncertainty and the devil you know.”

But John Pegram, senior principal at law firm Fish & Richardson in New York, questioned the move.

"That's like Canadians offering US IP services. Some do, but it's not a substantial share of the market," he says.

He adds that his sense is that US practitioners are "not paying too much attention" to the details of a possible Brexit, but that they would deal with it if it occurs.

"I expect that it will significantly reduce the importance of the UK as a centre of European IP services," he says.
