Specialties: Pharma, biotech, multidisciplinary, chemicals, energy are technical field specialities. Securing freedom to operate by taking on over-broad patents in cost-effective post-grant proceedings.

  • Troll Busters Llc
    Founding Member
    Troll Busters Llc Oct 2006 - Present
    Mercer Island, Wa
    I started Troll Busters LLC when I was asked to continue being a patent assassin using administrative proceedings for others. As I have a high patent "kill" rate, someone called and said "you know Jeff, you could actually do this for a living. Just check under your car before you get in each time." And so the Troll Busters story began... Troll Busters has achieved major successes, both on the offense side and the defense side. On offense, we narrowed (rendered unenforceable) or cancelled over-broad claims for the entire second generation PCR portfolio, adenovirus vector formulations and electrochemical catalyst screening methods and equipment. On defense, I defeated Illumina invalidity challenges twice. The first was a Syntrix patent and that led to a $115Mil patent infringement jury verdict, largest in Washington State history. The second was preventing IPR (inter parties review) trial institution by Illumina (petition written by Finnegan Henderson) of a Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) patent (having a Nobel Prize winner as an inventor), a low probability event.
  • Various Start Up Pharma And Diagnostic Companies
    Part Time Lawyer
    Various Start Up Pharma And Diagnostic Companies Jan 2011 - Mar 2024
    Multiple
    I create the IP portfolio and strategy so that the company can create value for its intangible assets. I also implement FTO (freedom to operate) strategies, including proactive or pre-emptive strikes (not waiting for litigation, but avoiding litigation) on over-broad third party patents so that they cannot be used to deter or delay product development of others. Some have failed but each failure taught a lesson that has not been repeated. I continue to invest my time and skills in creating value, so long as my co-founders avoid turning a company into an extension of their academic research.
  • Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc.

    Seattle, Washington, United States
    In the biggest mistake of my career, I turned down an offer of first counsel at Gilead and became the initial lawyer at CTI because local Seattle venture capital (who funded CTI and were my Gilead references) asked me to not go to California and stay in Seattle (as my oldest was starting kindergarten). Was able to accomplish a precedent of protecting lysofylline as an enantiomer with the racemic mixture in the prior art. The rest of the drama is best left to the screen-writers.
