Eng. Todor KOMILEV
Patent Attorney
I am Todor Komilev and I am an Industrial Property Representative in the field of Patents and Utility Models. As such, I can represent the clients of the engineering patent law office BV & Ko before international organizations such as the Patent Office of the Republic of Bulgaria, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), as well as to assist in proceedings before the European Patent Office.
I started my professional development in the field of Intellectual Property protection in 2011 as a patent examiner in the “Inventions, Utility Models and Industrial Design” Department of the Bulgarian Patent Office. My engineering education with a master’s degree, which I received at the Technical University – Sofia in the speciality “Thermal and Nuclear Power plants” in 2012, was key to mastering the subject of research, analysis and protection of Inventions. As a patent examiner, I have participated in a number of international trainings to improve my patent qualification and have presented the position of the Bulgarian Patent Office at international seminars on topics, related to the development of Intellectual Property Protection.
In 2017 I became one of the partners and co-founders of “BV & Ko”, which develops its activities in the field of protection of Industrial Property and provides assistance in resolving cases related to copyright and related rights. Based on my experience, I am consulting SMEs and start-ups, as well as leading Bulgarian companies in the fields of energy, medicine, information technology, nanotechnology, etc.
