Introducing Mark

I’ve been a patent attorney at EP&C since 2010, with a background in bioprocess engineering and a Ph.D. in innovation management. My work bridges science, business strategy, and legal thinking, helping inventors turn inventions into successful commercial ventures. I specialize in life sciences and have worked on groundbreaking cases in areas like CRISPR-Cas, CAR T-cell therapy, and SPCs for blockbuster drugs. Supporting startups through acceleration programs, I advise on IP strategies that align with business goals. Whether drafting patents or delivering IP workshops, I see it as my job to make intellectual property accessible. For me, the essence of this role lies in uncovering the core of innovations and creatively protecting them to empower inventors to achieve impact.

Our goal isn’t just about safeguarding ideas; it’s about empowering inventors to bring their visions to life
