In the dynamic field of life sciences, intellectual property is key to transforming scientific discoveries into marketable products. From biotech and pharmaceuticals to diagnostics and medical devices, every step of innovation is shaped by regulatory complexity and intense competition. Strategic IP protection ensures that investments in research deliver real commercial value. I focus on supporting companies in safeguarding their innovations, navigating freedom-to-operate challenges, and building resilient portfolios that withstand legal scrutiny. My goal is to help life science businesses secure their technologies while creating long-term value through strong and future-proof IP strategies.
