With over 27 years of experience in technology and intellectual property law, I am the owner and an IP attorney at Dunlap Codding, a leading IP firm in Oklahoma, serving clients of all sizes from around the world. I am registered to practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office and hold state bar licenses in Oklahoma and Illinois. I have multiple certifications and honors in my field, including being selected as a minority rainmaker by the Minority Corporate Counsel Association and an Urban Pioneer by the Plaza District.I help creators, makers, artists, and innovators protect and defend their art, inventions, and ideas so they can profit from their creativity and power our economy, community, and future. I practice in all areas of creative rights, technology, and IP law, including patent, trademark, copyright, technology, and e-commerce. I also assist clients with IP matters requiring litigation, licensing, technology counseling, and complex transactions. My scientific background covers biotechnology and life sciences, medical devices and equipment, chemistry and chemical engineering, as well as software and information technologies. I provide strategic and tactical IP counsel to individual clients, universities, large pharmaceutical and manufacturing companies, and start-up companies. My passion is entrepreneurship and supporting those who take risks and enter new markets or release innovative products. The creative industries are our future, and I strive to help the artists and risk-takers who constantly challenge the status quo--creating a more just and equitable society for all.
