I am an intellectual property lawyer, registered patent agent, and registered trademark agent. Since 1996, I have been helping companies procure, maintain, and enforce a wide range of intellectual property rights worldwide (including patents, trademarks, and industrial designs) in mainly the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. My work also includes drafting and advising on commercial agreements with IP aspects, advising on trade secret protection, and handling patent and trademark oppositions, and domain name disputes. I regularly conduct and advise on patentability, freedom to operate, and state of the art patent searches and trademark clearance searches.
