Dr. Igor Gazuz

Qualification:

• German Patent Attorney

• Dr.rer.nat., Dipl.-Phys.

Overview:

Igor Gazuz joined Maucher Jenkins’s Munich office in June 2023 and qualified as a German Patent Attorney in 2024.

He has extensive experience in responding to examination reports in German and European patent prosecution proceedings, as well as in drafting new patent applications across a range of technical fields, including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and semiconductors, in particular image sensors.

Igor completed his physics studies with a thesis on superconductivity in nanograins. Subsequently, he completed his doctorate in the field of soft matter physics (in particular glass transition and mechanical properties of vitreous colloidal suspensions far from equilibrium).

Before working in the field of intellectual property law, he worked as a research assistant, researching the properties of polymer materials (such as mechanical properties of elastomers and compatibilization of polymer melts using block copolymers).
