I represent clients in all aspects of patent law and prosecution covering all types of technology, including physical sciences and biomedical technologies applicable to the life sciences. I work with managing portfolios, patent applications and intellectual property due diligence for companies of all sizes. I also have an excellent track record litigating patent disputes in Federal Court on behalf of my clients.
My Approach
I work with my clients to create as much value for them as I can by implementing a comprehensive intellectual property protection and enforcement strategy. While I primarily focus on implementing patent protection strategies, I regularly leverage some combination of patent, trademark and copyright strategy to achieve comprehensive protection. I take a holistic approach to each client’s needs to achieve protection that is both comprehensive and sensible. I have a considerable background in various technological disciplines that has helped me to protect the interests of many clients in diverse industries.
I have defended many clients against charges of patent infringement in various technological areas spanning from MRI scanners to industrial chemistry and manufactured goods. My approach to intellectual property strategy and tactics has been shaped by that experience on a fundamental level. By knowing how intellectual property rights can be dissected and defeated, I am better prepared to obtain protection that is difficult for my clients’ competitors to thwart.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and breathing new life into old cars.
