International law firm Bird & Bird welcomes Rameez Rahman, who joined the Dutch Intellectual Property team as a patent attorney on 1 October.
Rameez joins the firm with over four years of experience in patent prosecution, most recently at a prominent independent research organisation in the Netherlands focusing on applied science. He has extensive experience preparing and supporting multijurisdictional patent assertion and litigation. In addition, he has a strong scientific background with a PhD from TU Delft in computer science. Prior to becoming a patent attorney, Rameez spent over 13 years working as a software engineer and researcher, amongst others at Nokia Bell Labs Antwerp.
Manon Rieger-Jansen, head of the Dutch Intellectual Property team at Bird & Bird comments: “I am delighted to welcome Rameez to our Dutch IP team. With his in-depth technical knowledge, Rameez will strengthen Bird & Bird’s Dutch patent litigation team, some of whom also have a technical background. With Rameez on board, we will continue to provide an even better client service. Welcome to the team Rameez!”
Jeroen van der Lee and Marc van Wijngaarden, co-heads of Bird & Bird’s offices in the Netherlands say: “Rameez’s appointment will bring a wealth of technical experience in the computer science and telecommunications sector, broadening our offering in the Dutch IP market. Patent litigation in the field of telecommunications, electronics and computer science are becoming increasingly more complex and having team members with a technical background provides an important advantage for our IP team in the Netherlands.”
Rameez Rahman, himself adds: “I am very excited to be joining a truly international law firm such as Bird & Bird. I look forward to bringing my broad expertise and scientific knowledge to our IP team in the Netherlands, collaborating with my new colleagues across the entire network and cultivating Bird & Bird’s one firm culture.”
