Senior Associate
Shu has built up expertise in patents across a wide spectrum of technologies, including life sciences, chemistry and mechanics. With a strong background in structural biology, Shu is well-equipped to advise clients involved in biomarkers, enzymes, antibodies, plasma products and small molecule pharmaceutical formulation and synthesis. His experience extends to oilfield drilling technology, including drilling fluids, cements and apparatuses.
Shu has collaborated with a diverse range of clients, from large multinationals, universities to SMEs, understanding the unique challenges that each faces. For large clients, he has coordinated prosecution of extensive patent families across multiple jurisdictions. For smaller clients, he has audited and developed their intellectual property portfolios to enhance their value.
Shu is adept at both written and oral representation before the EPO, and patent prosecution before the UKIPO. He has recently tackled several complex EPO oppositions. Shu also assists his clients with infringement and validity opinions, advice on inventorship and ownership of patent rights, and patent restoration.
Shu has worked in intellectual property since 2005 in London-based firms, joining Patent Boutique in 2019.
