I’ve been leading clients through the process of securing patent rights in the United States & throughout the world for twenty-two years. I work with clients who have a broad array of goals for their patents. With a vast understanding of clients' ever-changing needs, I construct a tailored patenting strategy to align with your business objectives. I’m an expert at building & executing processes for identifying innovations, securing patent rights for those innovations, and developing a patent portfolio that best protects my clients. Representative services relating to patent procurement include:

- Patentability opinions
- U.S. and foreign patent preparation and prosecution
- Patent portfolio development and maintenance

I counsel clients how to best protect trademarks, service marks & trade dress. To that end, we research potential marks for conflicting third-party rights. Once cleared, we proceed with securing the mark through domestic & foreign registrations. My firm is very experienced in filing & prosecuting trademark applications through the USPTO & for the added convenience of clients, we also utilize a network of foreign attorneys to secure registration throughout the world.

My firm evaluates clients' products to ensure they do not infringe patents held by others. During this process, we perform an in-depth study of relevant patents within the specified field in order to assess the scope of coverage, validity, and enforceability.

Through our efforts, your company will have the utmost confidence that its new product does not infringe the patents of others. If necessary, we will suggest alternative product features to alleviate infringement concerns. Additionally, we assist clients in monetizing intellectual property rights, through enforcement and licensing. Representative services relating to client counseling include:

- Patent infringement and validity opinions
- Right to Use evaluations
- Patent avoidance designs
- Licensing of intellectual property assets
