Introduction
My focus
I have deep experience with developing defensive and offensive cases on assigned patents and handle all aspects of case management, from strategy development to trial preparation, and contribute to favorable outcomes for my clients. This experience allows me to successfully represent global companies in federal district courts and in Section 337 proceedings before the International Trade Commission.
My experience extends to prosecuting patent applications in proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
I value collaboration, efficiency, leadership, and excellence in all areas of my practice and in my client relationships.
Looking ahead
Recognizing the value of intellectual property is a strategic necessity for all companies and innovators. As our society becomes increasingly computer-centric, the creativity and innovation of humans is even more important to recognize, protect, and promote. Attorneys can best serve clients by showing judges and juries that their products and ideas are worthy of protection.
