As a child, I was desperate to be Agnetha from ABBA, to the extent my elder siblings clubbed together to buy me a blonde wig from the toy shop. Fast forward “mumble-something” years, and I’m delighted to be attending the conference in Stockholm for the first time this year. Obviously for the legal discourse, catching up with colleagues, and meeting new ones but I’m not going to lie that 5yo me is excited (OK, VERY) excited about the ABBA Museum too! Come and say ‘kia ora’.

Kiwis can fly.

On the eve of the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics and the upcoming sports extravaganza my mind wandered to sport and patents and apparently the Olympic sport with the most patents is ... golf!

Feeling humbled - 15 years ago today I left an established firm and started on my own path with lofty aims of providing a different type of patent attorney service. There have been many special moments, lots of challenges and the inevitable mistakes. Thank you to the amazing CreateIP team - hard to believe you have put up with me for 10+ years! And a big thank you also to all of the clever, loyal and literally world changing people and companies we are lucky enough to work with everyday. Your innovations and you as people make us all on the team excited everyday to dig into each new project!

The offices are closed for 2022. We’re off to enjoy some time out with family and friends and, fingers crossed, some sunshine. Like Arnie, we’ll back on 9 January 2023, but in the meantime, wish you all Meri Kirihimete and a Happy New Year!
