In addition, it highlights the role of Ana Herrera, our Director of Patents, Development and Innovation, “who has extensive training in biotechnology, has extensive experience in the preparation of patentability, infringement and freedom-to-operate opinions, as well as in the drafting and processing of European, Spanish and international patent applications”; and Patricia Ramos, our Deputy General Manager, “a former head of the firm, who is overseeing an ambitious digital transformation programme that will see her incorporate new technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain into the monitoring and defence of intangible assets”.
