Raina Hayles’ practice is predominantly concerned with multi-jurisdictional patent litigation across the life sciences, technology and telecommunications sectors. Her focus is mainly advising clients on assertion of patents and defence against infringement claims. Raina has previously worked with international clients and experts on long-running disputes relating to blockbuster drug patents and standard essential patents.
In the pharmaceutical sector, Raina works on multi-jurisdictional invalidity and infringement proceedings. In the telecoms sector, Raina advises on and assists in coordinating cross-border patent disputes and issues relating to both standard essential and non-essential technologies. Raina also has experience advising on patent matters within the consumer industry.
In 2024, Raina secured a secondment to the High Court, where she acted as a judicial assistant to a Patents Court judge. This unique opportunity involved drafting non-contentious sections of judgments, preparing notes on the law and discussing cases with the judge. Raina worked on a number of complex pharmaceutical patent disputes and gained in-depth experience of civil litigation in the UK courts. Raina now combines the knowledge and skills gained from this experience to provide tailored litigation advice to clients.
