ABOUT ME

French and European Patent Attorney. Graduated in Applied Mathematics from INSA (National Institute of Applied Sciences), Rouen. Postgraduate degree (DEA) in Computer Science, Statistics and Probabilities, Rouen University. Graduated from the CEIPI (European Centre for Intellectual Property), Strasbourg. After having started my career in R&D in industry, in computer science, signal and image processing, I worked as an Examiner for the European Patent Office during six years in different technical fields related to computers and telecom. I then joined subsequently different large IP law firms in France and Belgium, where I acquired a sound experience in patents prosecution and litigation, before integrating Hirsch and Partners. I am in charge of the Electronics, IT and Telecom Department. I used to be a member of the Board for French IP qualification examination (patents section). Besides Electronics, IT, Telecom, my practice areas also include Electricity, Physics and Mechanics.
