    • DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION

      Helping Inventors and Industry

      Navigate the Wave of Disruption

      securing and monetizing

      your latest innovations.

      I am an engineer, with an emphasis in electronics and computer science; a licensed attorney; a licensed patent attorney (or lawyer-scientist) who spots valuable intellectual property for entrepreneurs, small businesses, and global corporations.

       

      INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY STRATEGY

      I'm trained to creatively (and strategically) protect that intellectual property (IP) with one or more instruments like patents, trademarks, and trade secrets. With those completed instruments in hand, or their in-progress applications, my clients are equipped to face the market having managed the risk that someone else will take their idea, or a derivative, and realize wild success without giving credit where credit is due.

       

      INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS

      I'm also experienced in selling and, more often, licensing those ideas to others--sometimes because others have the means to bring the idea to the market or other times because they want to suppress the idea in favor of their own market entrant. Patent licensing encompasses a myriad of strategic approaches, and no two deals are the same.

       

      IT AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSACTIONS
      Information Technology (IT) has been a part of my life since I was very young, and I have fond memories of learning my first lines of BASIC on the TRS-80 my grandfather picked up to do financials for our family farm. Although a software developer I did not become, my penchant for technology has helped me stay ahead of the game and provide down-to-earth, relevant advice on IT law and the law of Technology Transactions (indistinguishable in many ways from IP Transactions). I love my tech transactional work because of the people I get to work with from the business--with aggressive timelines, high standards and a team of real people who will connect the two in their implementation of new technology. To help remove legal hurdles that stand in the way of the success of others is a purpose to do great work and a passion of mine.

       

      DIGITAL DISRUPTION

      I'm very fortunate for all my life experiences, which have taught me like no teacher ever could (although I have/had some excellent mentors along the way). In this age of digital disruption, I am lucky to, on my very best days, watch as the technology I helped to protect has gone on to change our lives so radically and rapidly that new markets opened up we never thought possible.

       

      The truth is that disruption happens anywhere ingenuity is fostered, from the efforts of independent inventors, start-ups or global giants. What will the future hold?

       

      Act with purpose.

      Always be better.

      And move the peanut forward every day.

      WHAT I DO: SUPPORT INNOVATION THAT DISRUPTS MARKETS

      Strategic. Accurate. Complete.

      [ essential qualities of my work ]

       

      I'm an experienced patent and intellectual property attorney and consultant who has helped numerous businesses, some local and some global in scale, to secure their valuable ideas with patents that go on to build brands I help them nurture and protect as well.

       

      In addition to traditional hard and soft IP work, I also do tech transactions work, drafting and negotiating complex deals for both sale-side and purchase-side business partners. I work hard to spot and neutralize risk firmly clients creatively when necessary, and am known as the legal department's deal closer, rather than the "deal stopper."

       

      I leverage more than nine years of practice registered before the USPTO and over 16 total years of intellectual property experience. Over those 16 years, I have had privilege of working with large companies, international businesses, start ups, and directly with independent inventors.

       

      I would like to start a conversation. Whether my skills match a position you're trying to fill or you think I could add value as a consultant, I welcome a message to start the discussion. Please use the message feature below to ensure my email filter doesn't misbehave. If you don't receive a response from me, do call; email and technology will always be fallable, but human relationships tend to stand the test of time. I look forward to it.

      Always be better. Always.

      [ my promise to you ]

       

      I develop strategies to capture the future value of people’s innovations at game-changing companies started in garages, coffee shops or college dorm rooms. On my best days, I help entrepreneurs and growth businesses disrupt huge markets and change industries in ways no one imagined. I provide value to my clients by overcoming the legal roadblocks and unacceptable risks that keep the client from moving forward. I passionately work with my colleagues, staff and company leaders to remove or work around the challenges that prevent the client and its executive, support and product teams from achieving their best work.

       

      Where is my focus? In patent preparation, prosecution, and IP lifecycle management; IP litigation support; and drafting/negotiating IP and tech transactions, leveraging continual workflow improvement.

      How Can I Help you Be Better?

      [ key strengths and value to be added ]

       

      1. Identifying valuable, protectable intellectual property (‘of all types) that creates market value, particularly leveraging the patent process in the US and abroad to help my clients create valuable, monetizable patent portfolios. I strategically and collaboratively prepare, prosecute and manage patent portfolios, having contributed patent applications and issued patents to some of the world’s most innovative companies.

       

      2. Preparing and negotiating contracts (primarily IP and tech transactions), strong and enforceable NDAs, letters of intent and a wide range of other agreements. I draft and enforce agreements to protect valuable company assets and know-how, identify and mitigate issues in corporate contracts, and work to protect the client from unacceptable risk. I'm a deal closer who collaboratively works with the business to solve the legal challenges that stop most deals. I find creative solutions to unique problems to keep business moving.
