29 November 2012
Tilleke & Gibbins has added two associates to its intellectual property group, adding further strength to a team that is widely recognized among the top IP practices in Vietnam.
Annika Svanberg joined Tilleke & Gibbins as an IP associate in the firm’s Ho Chi Minh City office. Svanberg, a native of Sweden, was an associate in the Stockholm office of leading international IP law firm Bird & Bird before joining Tilleke & Gibbins.
The firm gave its patent group in Hanoi a boost with the addition of Yen Thi Vu, who joined Tilleke & Gibbins from local IP law firm Investip, where she handled patent and design prosecution matters in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar. Yen holds a BS in Biochemistry and is a qualified IP Agent with the National Office of Intellectual Property.
“We’re delighted to add Annika and Yen to our team,” said Thomas J Treutler, partner and managing director of the firm’s Vietnam offices. “With Annika, we add a lawyer with significant foreign experience at one of the world’s top IP firms, and Yen gives us another science-savvy, client-focused patent executive with experience throughout Southeast Asia.”
