ChemistryMarianne applies her skills in drafting patent specifications that are individually tailored to align with the commercial objectives of her clients. Marianne is also involved in patent oppositions before the Australian and New Zealand patent offices, providing freedom to operate advice, performing patent landscape searches, and monitoring third party patent applications globally. Marianne files and prosecutes patent applications with the Australian and New Zealand Patent Offices and directs foreign patent prosecution via a network of trusted foreign law firms.
Marianne has significant experience across a range of chemical technologies such as composites, mineral processing, electroactive materials, polymeric coatings, food and beverage technology, agrochemicals, animal health, and drug delivery technologies.
Marianne's PhD research involved the synthesis and characterisation of a series of novel chiral networks which may ultimately find commercial application as catalysts in reaction syntheses for the pharmaceutical industry.
After completing her PhD Marianne went on to work as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow within the ARC Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science, specialising in corrosion mitigation of metal infrastructure using rare earth-organic complexes. During this time she developed new and improved "green" corrosion inhibitors, analysing their speciation in aqueous solutions at varying pH and concentrations while also in coatings via filiform analysis. In doing so, Marianne applied techniques such as NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, potentiodynamic polarisation and surface analysis using SEM and profilometry.
Marianne has also conducted extensive research in respect of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), specifically, the control and prevention of biofilm formation on metal substrates. In particular, she realised the potential for commercial application of her research in industrial and medical fields, mainly methods of corrosion control for ship hulls and surface treatments for medical prostheses. As such, she targeted her research on the development of environmentally friendly organic coatings and ionic liquids.
Marianne is a registered Australian and New Zealand Patent Attorney.
