Rovi, (prior to acquiring Tivo and its DVR business and patents), licensed interactive program guides for television, the patents covering that technology, tv listings metadata, and software enabling content recommendations, advertising, and other functionality, along with other lines of business. I managed a team of 18, including a dozen lawyers and other staff, and was responsible for IP, licensing, litigation, compliance, privacy, employment, securities, and aspects of M&A. I also supported sales, marketing, corporate development, engineering, and HR. The IP reforms I initiated and the resulted in broader, deeper, and more licenseable patent and trademark portfolios, and I was integral in negotiating, drafting, and closing high-value (eight- and nine-figure) license deals. I also managed a heavy slate of patent, commercial, and other disputes, resulting in key victories, new patent and product licenses, and on the defensive end protecting the company against big judgments and potentially show-stopping injunctions. I advised and supported our GC, CEO, the Board, and and other executives on a wide variety of legal matters, and was instrumental in the growth and success of the company during my tenure.
