Technically complex patents and a deadline?
 

Grappling with a complex biomedical/biotech/bioengineering patent application that is giving you headaches? Are you up against a USPTO response deadline, and you’re swamped? Give me a call. Your client will be comfortable that you’re using an associate who is a highly experienced physics/biotech Ph.D. with 30 patents (20 issued, 10 pending), extensive biomedical business management experience, and USPTO registration. 

My experience includes successful prosecution experience with complex, multi-disciplinary patents in various combinations of the following fields:

Biotechnology
Bioengineering
Electronics
Software
Medical devices
Medical diagnostics
 

Trying to upgrade your company's patent portfolio?

Creating a compelling patent portfolio requires more than just scientific and patent experience, it also requires business experience.  It takes business perspective to help shape patent claims that are strategically important to your enterprise's future business directions.  As the founder and former CTO of a venture backed startup, I have many years experience working with the business aspects of patent portfolio creation. 

How my technical sophistication can help you

Your patent application was rejected?  In many cases, the patent examiner may have incorrectly interpreted prior art in a way that is prejudicial to your application.  I have the background needed to rapidly get a deep understanding of the prior art citations, and explain to the examiner how they differ from your application.

I also make "house calls".  As a former R&D executive and CTO, I'm good at interacting with your R&D staff to understand your technology.  I'm also good at interacting with your business and marketing staff to understand what aspects of the technology are most important to your business objectives.  The result -- more useful patents, fewer useless patents.
