”In my work, I am inspired by the front-row view on the development of technology. New innovations are often based on technology that is not yet public knowledge, so a patent attorney has the unique opportunity of seeing innovations and discussing them with the inventor before they are disclosed. Thanks to my research background, I understand the business value of patenting inventions and thus safeguarding the results of research and development work. It's always great to be able to discuss the background and future plans of an invention directly with the inventor, and to bring them the news of a positive decision from the patent office."
