Industry focus
I am part of a talented team that is committed to establishing patent rights for your business.
How I represent clients at Schwabe
I have helped technology businesses, including several innovative Fortune 500 companies in Silicon Forest, Silicon Valley, Seattle, and other technology hubs across the nation, prepare and file both U.S. patent and Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) applications. I have also assisted new businesses in managing their patent portfolios, from portfolio inception to acquisition.
Experienced counsel for complex technology
I have been practicing patent and trademark prosecution for more than 20 years. My experience includes prosecution of patent applications in fields such as cloud computing, networking, computer architecture, operating system software, video encoding, social networking applications, connected vehicle service software, security software, resistive memory, and electromechanical technologies. Prior to my career in law, I worked as a technical marketing engineer in Intel’s motherboard group.
I joined Schwabe as part of the group from Stolowitz Ford Cowger LLP, the boutique intellectual property firm that merged with Schwabe in 2015.
