Michal Zielinski joins Smart & Biggar, Canada’s leading firm for IP law, adding technical expertise to the firm’s patent practice group in Vancouver.

Michal’s practice focuses on patent prosecution and providing clients with strategic advice on issues related to aviation, software, computers, manufacturing, construction, robotics, electrochemistry and metallurgy.

His interdisciplinary technical background serves as a backbone to his understanding of a broad range of scientific and technological areas. With degrees in materials engineering and medical science, and up-to-date knowledge of new technologies and scientific discoveries, he is able to work with and advise on even the most complex and cutting-edge sciences – particularly those that are heavily dependent on an understanding of solution thermodynamics (e.g., cryobiology, oil and gas, polymer science).
