What Panoramix does

Panoramix (Panoramix IP) is a UK-headquartered intellectual property law firm that provides end-to-end patent, trade mark, design right, copyright, image right and brand protection services directly before the UKIPO, EUIPO and USPTO. Founded by Kevin Hanson around 2020 and led from Lincoln, the firm operates offices in Lincoln, Newark, London and San Francisco, supported by dual-qualified solicitors, chartered patent and trade mark attorneys and US-registered attorneys that allow it to file and litigate across all three major jurisdictions without engaging foreign associates. Its service catalogue spans IP strategy, prosecution, licensing, enforcement, IP audits and an Infringement Lab offering 3D scanning, teardown reports and CPR-compliant evidence packs, supplemented by self-serve digital filing products for UK and US trade marks.

The firm earns revenue predominantly through project-based professional services fees, with patent work billed between roughly £750 and £7,500+, UK and US trade mark filings starting at £170 and £875 respectively, plus retainers for monitoring, enforcement, IP audits and Innovator Founder Visa IP work. Customer segments span technology and engineering, life sciences and healthcare, retail and consumer goods, manufacturing, financial services, ambitious founders and start-ups, and Innovator Founder Visa applicants; named engagements include BOKEN Watches, Wow Hydrate, Escape Fitness, Lincoln City Football Club, LockOn Ltd, Gittings-Grima Group (G3) and Joshua Van Hoven's US IP practice.

Go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven, combining direct outreach, free 45-minute IP clinics, sector-focused events, SEO-led content marketing on its Knowledge Hub, an active LinkedIn/Facebook/Instagram presence, and exclusive referral arrangements with all three Home Office-approved Innovator Founder Visa endorsing bodies. AI plays a supporting role through third-party platforms (IP Pilot, mnAI) and trade mark search and watching software, rather than proprietary model development. Operating geographies span the UK, Europe, the US and globally, with cross-border filings and dispute support delivered in-house.
