I'm a registered patent agent and spent the last 5 years helping Genus PLC scientists understand patent law, how it applies to their work, and when to consult the legal team (early and often). Also drafting and prosecuting patents (office action responses, etc) and performing freedom to operate searching (in consultation with attorneys).I also built strong relationships with scientists and program directors to be seen as a resource and a champion, not a roadblock by educating scientists as to the nature and purpose of IP. By partnering with legal, we could make sure to ensure freedom-to-operate early in a project and file for patent protection at the appropriate time.Specialties: patents, intellectual property law, patent agent, molecular biology, developmental biology, biochemistry, building strong relationships with inventors/scientists
