Burcu Sucuka

Turkish and European Patent Attorney
I am a European Patent Attorney with a technical background in molecular and cellular biology. I’ve been working as a patent attorney for more than 10 years and have experience both in-house and in private practice in managing patent prosecution, litigation and portfolio development for universities, start-ups and multinationals. I advise my clients considering their business needs and interacting with them to find the best way to protect their IP assets.

Expertise

  • Biotechnology
  • Chemistry
  • Pharma
  • Oligonucleotide
  • Medicines

After completing my studies in cell biology in France, I was keen to build a career which requires continuous learning at the edge of research and innovations. Being a patent attorney is perfect in that sense because it requires a multidisciplinary approach combining law and science, as well as a creative mindset to satisfy clients’ needs for optimal IP protection. At NLO, I aim to make the best of my expertise and take it to the next level at the heart of a team working with a broad spectrum of clients.
