About

I am passionate about technology development and working with creative minds. They are the essence of a successful product and business strategy. As a patent attorney, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of building a diversified IP portfolio to support such strategies. In the fields of engineering, medicine, and telecommunications I have gained 10 years of academic and industrial experience, which I’ve translated into over 10 years of experience in helping clients build and effectively use their IP portfolios. My daily work routine covers a wide range of areas, including medical devices and implants, engineering solutions, renewable energy systems, telecommunications, and data management solutions. Please feel free to contact me if this resonates with you and your business. I'd be happy to help you explore future opportunities to protect your IP.
