Rouse adds patent managers in Thailand

IP law firm Rouse has expanded its Thailand office with the appointment of two new patent litigators.

Jade Donavanik and Manothai Pramoj Na Ayuthaya have joined the Bangkok-based office as senior managers.

Both have trial experience, especially for pharmaceutical and life sciences clients, and will add to the firm’s 40-strong practice in Thailand.

Donavanik (below left) has more than 15 years of practical experience in all aspects of IP litigation.

Pramoj Na Ayuthaya (below right) has handled a number of complex IP litigation cases over the last 15 years before the IP Court of Thailand. His experience covers pharmaceuticals and life sciences as well as mechanical inventions, semiconductors and optical networks.

Rouse chief executive, Luke Minford, said the pair would bring “a wealth of high profile patent litigation experience” to its Thai practice.
