About

I advise clients on all areas of patent law, including strategic patent portfolio development, USPTO patent validity review proceedings, patent litigation in U.S. trial and appeal courts, and technology transactions. My technical background includes physics and electrical/computer engineering. Working with high-tech companies large and small, I have developed in-depth knowledge about intellectual property issues for a range of industries, including quantum computing and communications, blockchain and web 3.0 services, artificial intelligence, semiconductor design and manufacturing, and networking solutions.
