Developed an IP due diligence protocol used to evaluate and assess the relative value of the IP portfolio of life science startups under review for potential investment by a prominent local venture capital firm, to standardize relative value of IP consistently so that very different companies with different IP holdings can be fairly assessedAdvised on, contributed content to, and offered 1on1 guidance and answered student questions for an online-based patent bar review course having slightly higher pass rates but much lower costs than the big name coursesReviewed the patent portfolio and strategy of a growth stage immunotherapy startup, analyzed the crowded existing patent landscape in the relevant technology space in order to make patentability and FTO assessments then drafted as an executive summary of their IP picture, specifically drafted for potential investors without immunotherapy expertise, concisely providing only relevant and practically useful info for due diligence reviewPerformed utility and design patentability and FTO search and assessments for individual inventors on a broad range of technology spaces (e.g. mechanical, business method, software, biotech, pharmaceuticals, hardware)Assessed validity of infringement claims, respond if needed, and advised the inventor/creator on relevant IP laws in the context of both reacting to specific infringement accusations and in a broad context due to rampant, improper abuse of infringement claims on sites like Etsy, give that claims varied greatly in scope and context
