Pēteris Skorovs
Patent Examiner, and Research and Technology Enthusiast.

Bio
I am a patent examiner with a background in biomedical engineering and medical physics, with over two decades of experience examining patent applications in the field of medical technology.
My day-to-day work spans the core stages of patent examination, including prior-art searching, substantive examination, and opposition proceedings.
Alongside my role as a patent examiner, I have also established myself as an expert in historical IP rights, specialising in archival research into historical patents and trademarks.
Beyond IP, my interests include reverse engineering and reconstruction of historical medical and scientific devices, and cybersecurity-related research on legacy computer systems.
Outside of IP and techology, you will usually find me running long and ultra-long distances on trails and roads.
All views or opinions expressed here are my own and do not necessarily represent those of my employer.
