Ip Counsel
CurrentI strategically develop and manage multiple large domestic and international patent portfolios related to liquid handling and workflow products, including supervising outside counsels and coordinating amendment strategy with foreign counsels in various jurisdictions. I provide opinions on patentability of inventions, as well as the infringement, and validity of granted patents. In my role, I also provide advice to the business on licensing and need for NDAs, the use of open source software, copyright, and trademark. I handle IP issues arising in the context of research collaborations and joint development efforts.
