I am a Russian Patent & Trademark Attorney, reg. №3. I started my IP career in 1971 as a PTO Senior Expert, later joined a large Russian IP firm and was among Russia's first patent & trademark attorneys since 1992. During my 35 years of practice I represented a great number of large and small companies and enterprises looking for IP services in the USSR and after 1991 in Russia and the CIS countries and Baltic States.

I advise clients on all aspects of Russain IP law and render a full range of IP services including developing of trademarks and service marks, conducting preliminary clearance searches, preparing and filing applications and their further handling. I also deal with licensing agreements and assignment of rights as well as with International TM Registrations.

My experience in all facets of Russian IP law enables me to provide world-class IP services to both Russain and foreign clients.
