Essi Karppanen

I handle a wide range of IPR assignments in the field of industries, particularly in pharmaceutical, polymer, and pulp chemistry, as well as in biotechnology. My tasks include drafting and prosecuting patent applications, conducting novelty searches, freedom-to-operate analyses, and technology landscaping.

Working in the IPR field is both fascinating and inspiring. I greatly value the contributions researchers make to inventions, and I truly enjoy collaborating and interacting with clients. I also highly appreciate the seamless cooperation we have with colleagues here at Boco. It’s a pleasure to be part of such a highly skilled team and to provide clients with top-quality service.

I hold a Doctor of Science in Technology degree in organic chemistry. My professional experience includes working as a researcher in the pharmaceutical industry and as an official at the EU level, where I was involved in implementing biocide legislation. I have been working in the patent field since 2020 and joined Boco in 2022.

I am currently training to become a European Patent Attorney.
