Georgios Pantazidis
Primary expertise
Georgios advises clients in a broad range of fields, including quantum technology, nanotechnology, energy conversion and storage, oil and gas, offshore and subsea technology, and aquaculture. He represents clients before the Norwegian Industrial Property Office, the European Patent Office, and the PCT authorities. Georgios passed the European Qualifying Examination (EQE) and is a European patent attorney. His working languages are English, Norwegian and Greek, while he has knowledge of German and Danish.
His primary work tasks include patentability assessments and patent landscape analyses, freedom-to-operate analyses, drafting of patent applications, and patent prosecution. He has experience representing and assisting clients in opposition proceedings and other contentious matters concerning patent validity and infringement, as well as providing strategic IP advice to companies and investors during due diligence processes.
Background
Georgios joined Bryn Aarflot in 2022.
Georgios holds a PhD in Physics from Aarhus University as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow, and an MSc in Materials Physics from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. His research focused on solid-state and materials physics, including the dielectric behaviour of metal oxide particles in composite matrices at high temperatures and pressures, with potential applications in biocompatible electronic devices and geophysics. He also researched the functionalisation of graphite and other carbon-based molecules with hydrogen and oxygen atoms on carbonaceous surfaces (e.g., PAHs and fullerenes) under ultra-high-vacuum conditions using a broad range of laboratory techniques. His research has potential applications spanning astrochemistry and space resource utilisation to energy storage/conversion (batteries, fuel cells, solar cells), catalysis (water splitting, electrocatalysis), environmental remediation (adsorbents, water treatment), electronics (bandgap engineering for devices, sensors), and biomedical fields (bioimaging).
