I managed the process of turning ideas into intellectual property, worked with researchers and engineers to identify patentable concepts, wrote patent applications, and shepherded those applications through the patent process. I also generated and maintained non-disclosure agreements (NDA) to protect North Inc.'s intellectual property and delivered intellectual property onboarding training to new employees.
