Virpi Sneck
I hold extensive academic qualifications in both chemistry (M.Sc.) and physics (Ph.D.). Before transitioning to a career as a patent attorney, I worked as a researcher at a university and in an optoelectronics company in research and development roles. In the field of intellectual property, I have experience working at a patent agency as well as serving as an in-house patent attorney for an international materials chemistry company. In this in-house role, I collaborated closely with R&D teams, supporting the development of ideas generated during product development into patentable inventions.
In my work, I strive to deeply understand my clients' businesses and technologies to help them protect the unique aspects of their products with patents that align with and support their business goals.
