My 26 years’ experience in the patent profession embraces all chemical areas including pharmaceuticals, food chemistry, petrochemicals, agricultural and polymer chemistry, as well as chemical synthesis and processes. In the pharmaceuticals sector, I handle patent applications for new active substances, formulations, combination therapies, new medical indications, and manufacturing processes. My experience includes drafting new applications, prosecution before the EPO, UKIPO and worldwide, EPO oppositions and appeals, freedom to operate and validity opinions, and patents due diligence. I have particular experience in obtaining supplementary protection certificates (SPCs) and other forms of patent term extension, advising clients on SPC strategies and filing and prosecuting SPC portfolios throughout Europe on a number of important marketed pharmaceutical and plant protection products. I also have experience advising on regulatory-based protection for pharmaceuticals.

Listed skills include Patents, Intellectual Property, Patent Prosecution, Patentability, and 16 others.
