Tomasz Wirt
Tomasz is a biotechnology expert with a strong background in nucleic acid-based technologies and personalised medicine. Drawing on both his academic and start-up experience, he helps clients secure robust patent protection for their innovations from the outset.
Tomasz advises biotechnology companies on patentability assessments, such as novelty searches, and drafts patent applications to help ensure that their intellectual property (IP) is protected early on and aligned with their business needs. He also oversees and provides advice during the examination of patent applications.
His move into IP was driven by his passion for molecular biology and a desire to help translate academic research into real-world applications. His first exposure to IP came during his time at SciLifeLab in Stockholm, where he was named as a co-inventor on several patent applications. This experience, combined with roles at Karolinska Institute spin-outs, gives Tomasz a strong understanding of the challenges faced by early-stage companies in Sweden.

How We Live Our Values: Excellence
As a patent attorney with a strong technical foundation, I strive to bridge the complexity of inventions with clear, effective legal protection. My work is driven by a genuine passion for understanding the technical intricacies behind each innovation, and by a commitment to continually expanding my legal expertise.
In My Own Words
Although I found scientific research deeply rewarding, I reached a point in my career where I wanted a new challenge. I was looking for something that would let me use my technical background in a meaningful way while staying close to cutting-edge science. That path led me to IP.
My first exposure to IP came during my academic career, when I was named as a co-inventor on several patent applications. I worked closely with patent attorneys at the time and was struck by how they combined scientific depth with legal precision. The turning point came at a university careers fair, where I visited the Potter Clarkson stand. They weren’t actively recruiting in my field, but I applied anyway. That decision ultimately launched my career in IP.
The most rewarding part of my work is seeing our clients succeed. Knowing that the advice and protection we provide genuinely help bring their innovations to life and move their businesses forward.
