Senior Associate Michelle Lee has been recognised as a rising star in MIP's IP Stars rankings for 2020.

As a Senior Associate in the Electrical Engineering and ICT Team based in the Sydney office, Michelle is responsible for a large portfolio of both local and foreign patent and design clients including the largest corporate patent filer in Australia.

Michelle works closely with designers and engineers to harvest and monetise their intellectual property as well as handling preparation and prosecution of patents and designs.

Michelle was instrumental in the preparation of evidence for a successful European patent opposition acting for the only nuclear technology body of the Australian Government.

She has written numerous articles on patent reform in Australia and regularly presents to local clients.

Michelle's work with Spruson & Ferguson has been valued greatly by clients and colleagues and we congratulate her for her recognition in MIP IP Stars 2020.
