I am a patent litigator who also assists clients create effective strategies to maximize the value of intellectual property assets. I have litigated patent infringement cases in district courts and at the International Trade Commission. I have lead at trial, Inter Partes Review ("IPR") claim construction hearings and case dispositive motions. I have a proven track record of helping clients build patent portfolios in the renewable energy and "green technology" fields. Because of my efforts in these arenas, company valuation in one instance was enhanced to the point where the client was able to make an initial public offering of its shares and in other instances clients have achieved significant increases in market share.Specialties: IP litigation and strategic patent portfolio development in such technologies as all phases of integrated circuit fabrication, especially semiconductor wafer and liquid crystal display inspection, substrate defect detection, electronic design automation, semiconductor substrate cleaning and photolithography; image processing; machine vision tools; automated records management; Internet related inventions; solar cell fabrication; membranes for various applications, and metallurgy.
