Sebastián Rubiano.

Sebastián Rubiano is a senior patent specialist. A chemist with a master’s degree in science, he has more than 11 years of experience, 9 of them devoted to intellectual property, in the strategic management of the prosecution of patents, utility models, industrial designs and plant breeders’ rights under the regulatory frameworks of Colombia, Latin America, the United States and Europe.

His technical background in biochemistry and biotechnology, together with two years of research in molecular ecology and university teaching, allows him to assess the patentability of a development from a scientific standpoint, not merely from the case file. He is the author of both legal literature on plant varieties and scientific research published in specialized journals.
