Patrice O Rourke Gibbons
Senior Patent Paralegal
Following my degree in Business & Legal Studies which I obtained in UCD, I qualified as a solicitor in Australia. Upon my return to Ireland, I entered the Patent profession and have been working in Intellectual Property, as a qualified patent administrator for more than 8 years.
I have extensive experience in patent renewals and the management and maintenance of patents including the more complex large portfolios in the Irish, European and International markets. As part of this work, I work closely with our clients to develop reports to assist with their IP management and strategies.
