My name is Christopher Turski MD. I am a fellowship-trained ophthalmologist and obtained my MD from the Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic. I am board-certified in Germany and in addition also possess the European board certification in Ophthalmology.
I have worked with Irena Říhová from THK Legal of Prague during my time at Duke University in the year 2024 on validation of my European patent EP3746106B1 in 37 European countries. Irena was leading this project on behalf of THK Legal. Irena has been instrumental for the success of the project. Her extraordinary engagement led to establishing a link between our teams, successfully addressing inquiries related to any questions of national partners and immensely helped in identifying the right national partners. Irena was actively overlooking translations, regulatory aspects of validation in individual countries, and finances of the project, particularly focusing on quality and timely delivery of results.
As we arrived at the deadline, Irena's meticulous attention to details and efficient management were key components to the success of the entire validation project. Irena has established excellent communication and trust between our teams allowing for a strong alliance between our teams and a number of national teams selected by her.
Her ability to swiftly assemble a project from its submission to its execution underscores her dedication and professionalism. In essence, Irena has demonstrated a keen awareness of our project details, further solidifying our confidence in the success of European validation. Irena is a highly skilled and dedicated patent validation specialist and a successful team leader.
She is sincerely and positively enthusiastic about her work. She demonstrated the remarkable ability to formulate critical questions in a very objective, but at the same time polite way.
In summary, THK Legal and Irena Říhová, when working with us, has demonstrated exceptional organizational skills, professionalism, high-caliber work ethics, and curiosity. I can recommend THK Legal, Irena and her team with the utmost enthusiasm.
