Our Philosophy

At InKnowBiz Associates, we believe that professional expertise is built over time through a combination of practical experience, continuous learning, professional engagement and exposure to evolving developments in intellectual property law, technology and practice.

Our approach to intellectual property work is therefore supported by a continuing commitment to professional development.

This page highlights selected professional learning experiences and programmes that have contributed to our journey in patent drafting, prosecution and intellectual property practice.

Continuous learning

Building Expertise Through Continuous Learning

Patent practice is constantly evolving.

New technologies, emerging legal issues, changing examination practices and developments in international patent practice require IP professionals to continuously update their knowledge and refine their approach.

For us, professional development is not limited to attending courses or obtaining certificates. It is about learning, applying, reflecting and continuously improving.

Our professional journey has included specialised programmes, practical training and interactions with other IP professionals that have contributed to the development of our approach to patent drafting and prosecution.

  • Chemistry
