I excel at managing global patent portfolios and all aspects of patent procurement from working directly with inventors to harvest disclosures through prosecution. I use ex parte appeals as a tool to deal with improper rejections resulting in efficient prosecution. I have experience in the mechanical arts, materials, metallurgy, medical devices, semiconductors, water and wastewater treatment, solar technology, printing, packaging, steelmaking, nuclear reactors, and transportation/automotive. I explore new places and engage in new cultures every year, which gives me an appreciation for the world and allows me to connect with people across cultures and borders. I bring this understanding and perspective to my client relationships and IP services. 2024 brought me to Denmark and Sweden.I'm a big believer in New Year's resolutions. Resolutions provide an opportunity to set and record goals and devise a structure to achieve those goals. Set it and get it!
