A catalyst for innovation, strategic growth and IP protection

With a strong academic foundation, hands-on research experience, and a commitment to excellence, Soraya is dedicated to empowering businesses and innovators to protect their IP assets.

With a diverse international background and expertise in the technical and legal aspects of patents, Soraya has a deep-rooted passion to bridge the gap between technology and legal protection. To serve clients effectively, she invests time in comprehending their unique history, technological landscape, and engaging in open discussions to uncover their needs. Soraya has worked with esteemed clients across industries and spanning across Europe, the United States, and Canada. 

During her postgraduate studies, she served as a researcher contributing to the NANOCAT project co-funded by the European Commission within the Sixth Framework Program. This project aimed to create fundamental knowledge from the synthesis of nanosized metal catalysts supported on inorganic and organic matrices as well as from the testing of these catalysts in industrially important reactions for producing fine and specialty chemicals. 

Soraya also pursued an MBA degree with a specialization in Strategy and Consulting. She was introduced to the critical role that patents play in technology, law, and business. To bolster her knowledge and expertise in the field of patents, she continued her education at the Center for International Intellectual Property Studies (CEIPI, Strasbourg), specializing in the closely interrelated legal and technical facets of intellectual property.
