Mediated over 500 patent infringement and trademark office cases.

After graduation from the University of Michigan engineering and law schools, and the completion of a Fulbright Scholarship I was one of the founders of the IP Department at Kirkland & Ellis in 1968, and spent 39 years there litigating and counseling in the IP area, including patents, trademarks and copyrights and trials in those fields. I spent a year teaching IP law at the Stanford Law School, and while there published "Patent Law for District Court and Magistrate Judges' which was used in many Districts as the basis for their local patent rules. From 2007 to 2013 I was the Chief Circuit Mediator for the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, DC, during which time I mediated over 500 patent infringement and trademark office cases. In late 2013 I joined JAMSs and have done over 100 mediations, arbitrations and neutral evaluations of IP and cases involving technology.
