We are pleased to share that two of our colleagues, Thomas Öhman and Adam Herrala Bricker, have successfully passed the USPTO registration examination. Congratulations to Thomas and Adam! Laine IP now has four registered U.S. patent practitioners, further strengthening our ability to support clients with U.S. patent filings and patent prosecution. We also welcome Benjamin Finley as a trainee. Benjamin’s ICT experience will further augment the team’s capabilities.
These milestones reflect Laine IP’s ongoing commitment ensuring that our clients receive the highest level of support in navigating the complexities of U.S. patent law. Further, as Thomas and Adam are both located in Turku, Finland, we now have a wide set of services available via our Turku office: Expertise in European patents, Trademarks, and U.S. patent prosecution.
Thomas expands our U.S. Chemistry service
Having joined Laine in late 2023, Thomas has been a valuable part of our U.S. IP team, contributing with his expertise in chemistry-related technologies. As a U.S. patent agent, Thomas is well-positioned to assist clients in securing patent rights in the U.S.A. Thomas is able to provide services in Swedish, Finnish and English.
” I’m pleased that Laine has two new registered U.S patent agents. This broadens our firm’s expertise in several industries. Additionally, I’m happy to collaborate closely with Mark, Adam and Toimi to further develop our U.S. patent prosecution services.”

U.S. ICT, Electronics and Physics services bolstered by Adam
On the non-chemical front, Adam has demonstrated strong technical and legal skills during his time with us, especially when working on AI inventions. Adam joined us in August 2024 from his previous position as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Turku.
“Doubling the number of registered practitioners is a real achievement for the U.S. team. It significantly expands our capabilities, allowing us to provide our clients with faster, more personalized service, as well as broadening the overall knowledgebase of the team.”
