About
Miguel Perez, LL.M., MSc*
Absolute Grounds is a blog covering the world of Intellectual Property and Productivity.
Hello. My name is Miguel Perez and I live in London, where I am doing an MSc on Management of Intellectual Property at QMUL. I also hold an LL.M. on Intellectual Property & Information Technology Law from Fordham.
My professional experience spans 14+ years outside of the UK. I have focused my career on trade mark prosecution, litigation, brand protection, plant varieties, and IP portfolios management.
I love teaching and regularly engage in public speaking roles.
You can get in contact with me through LinkedIn and Twitter.
