  I joined AJP in 2002 after finishing my LLB (hons). I became a registered Patent Attorney in 2005. During these years I acted for international clients seeking patent protection in Australia and/or New Zealand, as well as local clients wanting to commercialise their technology internationally. My local client base contained many Universities and Crown Research Industries, as well as corporates. Although handling a broad range of chemical technologies, I mostly advised on intellectual property strategies for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and food innovations.I also provided IP training sessions and workshops to clients wanting to understand how to get a stronger IP position from their research programmes.In later years, I started advising clients on the commercialisation of their pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and food technologies.

The Scripps Research Institute

• Post-doctoral research fellow

  • May 1997 - Oct 1998

  My research involved making compounds that were transition state analogues for particular chemical reactions. Antibodies raised against these compounds were investigated for use as biological catalysts for use in chemical synthesis.
