Accomplishments
I have spent more than 9 years in my current job, working in three different positions. I started working for the company as an assistant, learning all the formal issues involved in the operation of industrial property matters. This taught me how to talk to clients, prepare cost estimates, write letters to authorities and learn about most of the IP procedures. I had even completed a course in formalities officers, which ended with an examination in The Hague and obtaining the title of Certified Formalities Officer.
Increasing familiarity with the IP environment, prompted me to take the next step and start training to become a Polish patent attorney. In 2022, I passed the professional exam and became a patent attorney.
