My focus

Above all else, I focus on the business and personal interests of my clients. My clients know me best for fully understanding and never losing sight of their goals.

IP Litigation

My practice is dedicated to IP litigation before US District Courts and the International Trade Commission. Leveraging my engineering background, I represent companies in patent infringement or trade secret misappropriation cases involving a variety of technologies, including computer hardware, networking products and services, mobile devices, consumer electronics, automotive parts, and industrial equipment.

Brand Protection and Strategy

Drawing on my litigation experience, I also represent designers of fashion apparel, footwear, and luxury goods in brand enforcement actions involving trademark, trade dress, and design patent claims. I serve not only as a legal advisor, but help brands establish comprehensive business strategies in order to ensure the market exclusivity of their products and stay ahead of their competition.

Looking ahead

The flood of unauthorized medical products spawned by the pandemic was an eye-opener for manufacturers, consumers, and even many attorneys. Clients were surprised to find that it only takes a few minutes and no upfront costs to identify current top-selling products and start selling copies on all major online marketplaces. Moving forward, attorneys will need to have an extensive understanding of concepts such as deep AI, open data, and blockchain technology.
