Raghu Kamasetty Srinivas
Senior paralegal
Raghu is a business intelligence and patent litigation specialist and has a master’s degree in pharmaceutical technology. He has extensive experience in assisting generic agrochemical and pharmaceutical companies with commercial launches of patent-protected products. He has dealt with formulation patents, polymorph patents, combination patents and method of use patents.
For more than 15 years Raghu has been involved in intellectual property rights management, encompassing patent litigation and oppositions, patent infringement analysis, patent portfolio analysis and competitive intelligence, intellectual property mapping, patent risk management and freedom to operate analyses. He has managed patent enforcement activities in a wide variety of jurisdictions, including in Europe, Australia and South American countries such as Brazil, Mexico and Chile.
I particularly enjoy helping clients to make strategic decisions on complex patent-related questions and seeing the resulting positive commercial results. My in-house experience as a patent specialist gives me insights into the way clients think about their problems, which I am excited now to apply from a different perspective.
Raghu is familiar with the identification of on- and off-patent opportunities for clients, including devising and formulating design‐around strategies and invalidity opinions. He has many years of in-house experience and is familiar with gathering patent-related business intelligence, competitor mapping and strategic decision-making. Raghu’s pharmaceutical experience, includes managing the ‘skinny labelling’ process in-house, overseeing additions and deletions to the approved label for products such as the drugs travoprost and ciclosporin and liaising with regulatory and clinical teams.
