Intellectual Property legal professional with cross-border experience.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am an Intellectual Property (IP) legal professional with over 4 years of cross-border experience across U.S., U.K., EU, and Indian jurisdictions. My expertise lies in patent analysis, trademark prosecution, legal research, and IP enforcement. I have a strong technical grasp of AI, IoT, SaaS, and platform technologies, which allows me to interpret complex technologies and align innovation strategies with global IP protection frameworks.
Currently, I serve as Associate Legal Counsel at izmo Limited in Bangalore, where I lead legal operations for a U.S. tech parent company. My role involves drafting and reviewing IP ownership clauses in SaaS and platform licensing contracts, coordinating with external counsel for IP protection strategies, and advising on data protection compliance. I am passionate about returning to a specialized IP-focused leadership role where I can leverage my skills and experience to drive innovation and protect intellectual assets.
