How I Assist Clients

I help inventors and technical teams to transform complex engineering solutions into effective patent protection. I oversee the entire patent prosecution process, from initial research to office decisions, ensuring transparency and predictability, while safeguarding clients’ business interests. Thanks to my strong grasp of European and international procedures, I can guide clients through the complexities of patent strategy and filings with clarity and confidence.

When to Contact Me

Contact me if you:

• Have an innovative technical solution and want to explore the best ways to protect it;
• Value thorough patent searches and need actionable insights, not generic advice;
• Expect clear explanations of options, risks, and costs without any legal jargon.

My Key Areas

• Patent Research – identifying realistic protection opportunities and potential conflicts.
• Patent Applications – national and international filings prepared for effective rights acquisition.
• Technical Protection Strategy – tailored to the client’s capabilities, project stage, and business objectives.

My Approach

I combine engineering expertise with a practical understanding of business needs. My clients value my accuracy, timeliness, and transparent communication. I present available options and potential risks clearly, ensuring that patent protection decisions are informed, realistic, and aligned with business goals. I believe that successful, long-term collaboration is based on trust and openness.

Experience and Technical Background

I hold a PhD in engineering and I am a graduate of the Wrocław University of Science and Technology. My technical background covers energy, process engineering, and industrial technologies, enabling me to collaborate effectively with R&D teams, universities, and research institutes. As a candidate for the European Patent Attorney qualification (EQE), I am familiar with European Patent Office procedures and the international patent cooperation system.

Outside of work

I am a mother and enjoy cooking, baking, singing, and hosting gatherings, which often lead to long, meaningful conversations around the table.
