Bio
Maksim Gladkiy
I am glad to have known Elena as a professional in the Intellectual Property area. She is a very business oriented person with a strong eye on the client's objectives. Everything we did together either a technical analysis or patent mapping was implemented to the company's workflow/strategy succesfully. There is always a point to rely on her advice. She never gives a way if she does not feel herself strong in a particular question. But in that case you will, for sure, be advised to contact someone else who can manage your matter.
