Having completed my PhD in Biochemistry, I worked at another firm until qualified, and I then joined Boult as a European Patent Attorney.
My work centres on the filing and prosecution of patent applications in the UK, Europe and worldwide. I am particularly interested in how science impacts the everyday lives of people via commercialisation – which patents are central to. Understanding the client’s commercial aims and identifying ways in which intellectual property rights can be used to help them achieve those aims is one of my favourite aspects of my work.
I remain fascinated by biochemistry and science in general and learning about the latest innovations from clients in a variety of industries and technical disciples always intrigues me. I take a great deal of satisfaction from finding creative ways to protect those innovations.
