David Gómez Jiménez
David is a trainee patent attorney with a research background in drug development and patient stratification approaches. With over eight years’ experience in academia and industry, he bridges biotechnology and data science to support digital health and software-based inventions.
Day to day, David translates complex inventions into strategic intellectual (IP) advice. His work includes patent landscaping, advising on European Patent Office (EPO) office actions, and aligning IP protection with commercial strategy.
David’s transition from research in immunology, oncology and data science to the patent profession was driven by a passion for innovation. As a scientist, he authored several research articles in clinical immunotherapy and immuno-oncology.
He is active in regional and professional networks, including epi (the Institute of Professional Representatives before the European Patent Office), Medicon Valley Alliance (MVA), and Lund University Cancer Centre (LUCC).
David joined Potter Clarkson in June 2025 and works in the biotechnology and life sciences team.

How We Live Our Values: Collaboration
I believe collaboration gets the best results. When deadlines approach, I coordinate closely with my team to keep projects on track. Even under pressure, I stay intensely focused on clients’ goals and craft the strongest IP strategy for them.
In My Own Words
What I find most rewarding in my job is the opportunity to dive into a wide variety of inventions and scientific challenges, each with its own story and potential impact. I love the process of translating complex technical concepts, whether from biotechnology, digital health or software, into clear, strategic IP advice that helps innovators protect and realise their ideas. There’s a real sense of satisfaction in knowing that my work can make a difference for inventors, whether it’s by helping them navigate tight deadlines or by shaping a patent strategy that supports their long-term goals.
I also genuinely enjoy collaborating with inventors and colleagues from diverse backgrounds. Every day brings new questions and perspectives, and I thrive on the teamwork and communication required to move projects forward. Seeing a patent application progress from an initial idea to a granted right, and knowing I played a part in that journey, is incredibly fulfilling for me.
