Seppo has worked in the field of intellectual property since 2001. He helps both large and smaller companies protect their innovations and strengthen their commercial value. Together with clients, he identifies inventions worth protecting, drafts patent applications and conducts a wide range of IP analyses.
Seppo also advises on the exploitation, defence and invalidation of patents. He has extensive experience in European opposition proceedings and oral hearings in particular. In recent years, he has further deepened his expertise in patent litigation and the European patent system.
Seppo specialises in inventions in chemistry and biotechnology, as well as IP matters related to industrial processes. He has also worked extensively with inventions in materials, medicine and the circular economy. In addition, he has experience with multidisciplinary inventions, including information technology applications connected with chemistry, biotechnology and other fields of technology.
Seppo has an academic research background in biochemistry. He has also worked as an in-house patent engineer in major companies in the chemical industry, giving him a strong understanding of the link between patent protection and business.
Seppo is a good point of contact when an invention in chemistry, biotechnology or materials needs protection, or when a competitor’s patent may restrict a company’s freedom to operate.
