I focus my practice on complex intellectual property litigation involving patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and related business torts and unfair competition. I have practiced exclusively in the area of intellectual property for the last 28 years and I have extensive experience litigating and trying cases across the country.I have represented clients in litigation involving diverse technologies ranging from cellular telephone location-based services to chiral additives for cholesteric liquid crystal displays. I have appeared in courts in Ohio, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.As a licensed patent attorney with a background in electrical engineering and software development, I have experience in litigation, prosecution matters, and licensing related to technologies as varied as smart phones, personal digital assistants, building column protection devices, industrial drill and boring tools, automatic teller machines, electronic parts catalogs, and patient call-back systems. I also practice before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) in appeals in patent applications, reexamination, Inter Partes Review (IPR), and other post grant proceedings.In addition to patent litigation, a significant portion of my practice involves copyright and trademark litigation. I have litigated copyright infringement matters, trademark and trade dress infringement matters in state and federal courts across the country, and handled opposition and cancellation proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB).I have also briefed and argued appeals in intellectual property cases before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Sixth and Eleventh Circuits.
