Focus Your IP Strategy with a Trusted Partner
I help people focus their IP strategy to protect innovation and foster their business objectives. The challenges presented to companies by the complexities of patent laws are matched only by those of the rapidly shifting technology landscape. While the costs associated with securing intellectual property rights may feel steep, the dangers of a lax strategy are often worse. In our interconnected world, I help clients formulate an agile intellectual property strategy that advances their business goals. In response to the challenges of global competition I help businesses identify how to create a US & International IP portfolio that guarantees a competitive position within their industry.

Your San Francisco Bay Area Patent Attorney
From my offices in the San Francisco Bay Area I help companies leverage their intellectual property portfolios. My expertise lies in helping clients procure patents in the telecommunications, semiconductors, power electronics, electric vehicles, computer hardware, and software industries. I routinely help mature firms, emerging market companies, and start-ups maintain their innovative edge without being wasteful. It can often be tempting to be overly aggressive with your patent strategy, or only patent inventions when absolutely necessary. But I help clients strike the perfect balance so you get the maximum benefit from your patent portfolio by maximizing opportunity and limiting blindspots in your current portfolio and IP portfolio.
