Even during the tough times in 2020 and 2021 they always found ways of capturing your attention and making IP issues easy to understand.” Department head and biomedical and mechanical engineer Carlos Olarte has long been recognised for his sterling service and deep technical expertise. Patrons remark on his “depth of experience in managing large patent portfolios and in litigation proceedings”.
