Kirsi Partamies
I have been working as an IP specialist at Genip Oy Varkaus office since 2009.
I started in the field of IP business 1987, first working as a translator-correspondent, then as a patent assistant at the patent department of A. Ahlsröm Osakeyhtiö. 1995 I joined Foster Wheeler Energia Oy to start up the patent department of the company and served there until 2004.
Between 2005 and 2008, I worked as an IP assistant at the patent department of Ahlström Karhulan Palvelut Oy (later Coor Service Management Karhula Oy) until joining Genip Oy.
I hold a degree of Master of Arts from the University of Turku (1990), majoring in English Philology and minoring in German Philology and International Law.
I passed the European Patent Administration Certification examination (EPAC) successfully in December 2022, when the examination took place for the first time.
After more than 35 years in this business, I still find the work fascinating and my own. I enjoy and value working with our clients and with patent agencies both in Finland and worldwide.
I am fluent in Finnish, English, German, and Swedish.
