Staff Profiles
Anna’s career path has been very varied and interesting, giving her a wide range of experiences to draw on. She graduated from Trinity College, Dublin, with an honours degree in Natural Sciences, specialising in Genetics. This gave her a broad expertise in the field of Natural Science, with detailed experience and knowledge of a range of topics from biotechnology and molecular biology to plant science and biochemistry. In her final year, for example, she carried out an extensive laboratory project at the Wellcome Ocular Genetics laboratory, attempting to localise a gene for Bests Macular Dystrophy, an age-related macular degeneration. She added to her academic qualifications with a M.Sc. in the Management of Intellectual Property from the University of London.
Anna qualified in private practice as a Chartered Patent Attorney (UK) and a European Patent Attorney before joining Cruickshank in late 2005. She practises as a European Patent Attorney, a Chartered Patent Attorney (UK) and an Irish Patent Attorney, and is also a Community Design Attorney. Unlike most patent attorneys in Ireland, Anna spent almost ten years in London, working with two leading IP practices. During this time she gained significant experience dealing with clients ranging in size from university spin-out companies to major multinational companies on issues including drafting, filing and prosecution of patent applications, foreign filing strategies, portfolio management and infringement and validity. In particular, Anna was directly responsible for the patent portfolios of two major multinational companies. This unique insight into the workings of multinational corporations has added much to the breadth of experience and expertise she gained from her time in London.
At Cruickshank’s, Anna has been involved in a wide variety of patent work in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and chemical fields for many different clients, from small and medium-sized companies to major multinationals. She has handled diverse subject-matter in her role as patent attorney, such as food science, detergents, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. She is interested in all aspects of biotechnology patenting, particularly molecular and medical genetics, and also has experience in obtaining Supplementary Protection Certificates and Plant Variety Rights.
Anna is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys (UK), a member of the Irish Association of Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys (APTMA) and the Licensing Executives Society. She sits on the Patents Law Committee of APTMA and is a member of the Irish BioIndustry Association (IBIA).
Qualifications: BA(Hons) Natural Sciences, Trinity College Dublin; M.Sc. in the Management of Intellectual Property, University of London; Chartered Patent Attorney (UK); European Patent Attorney; Irish Patent Attorney; Community Design Attorney.
