Patent consultancy
I have extensive experience with patent enforcement, in particular in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. I provide advice to Danish and international companies on supplementary protection certificates, and I represent clients in Patent Office prosecution.  Furthermore I provide patent drafting services to industry clients and universities.

Focus areas and educational background
My technical focus areas are medicinal products, notably in the field of small molecules, organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, technical chemistry and food technology. I hold a Master’s degree in chemistry from the Technical University of Denmark and a PhD degree in law from the Faculty of Law at the University of Copenhagen. My PhD thesis bears the title “Is the SPC regulation (still) fit for purpose? – SPC eligibility of modern pharmaceuticals”. The thesis analyses and evaluates if the SPC regulation fits with modern pharmaceutical innovation, notably biotechnological innovation and secondary innovation.

I have more than 25 years of experience as European Patent Attorney.
