Hannah Greiner

Hannah holds a degree in Law from the University of Heidelberg and is a member of the German attorney's bar association. She received further education and professional training during her training-period for becoming an Attorney-at-Law at various law firms in Dusseldorf, Germany, all specialized in intellectual property law. She also passed an internship at the European Patent Office in Munich, Germany, Directorate General 5.2.5 Legal/International Affairs (PCT) and was trained at the Technology Transfer Office of the University of Dusseldorf, Germany.

In addition, she earned a Master in Advanced Studies in Intellectual Property (MAS IP) from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETHZ), Switzerland, in 2003. This program provided Hannah with the sound understanding of the activities occurring at the interface of R&D and intellectual property involving patentability clearance, patent filing strategies as well as defining suitable overall IP strategies that conform with the specific business fields of a company.

Hannah has worked for the Technology Transfer Offices of the Universities of Freiburg (Germany) and Basel for the last five years before joining ETH transfer where she is responsible for industry-related R&D and collaboration contracts.

Having focussed on IP-related issues for years, she has gained a strong background in IPR with special regard to technology transfer, patenting strategies and licensing.
