Highly skilled Intellectual Property (IP) attorney - I have over sixteen years experience as an attorney specializing in IP law, with 9 of those years spent as either the head, or sole, in-house U.S. IP counsel for two different global multinational corporations. My practice covers all areas of IP law (patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret), and I am a registered patent attorney before the United States Patent and Trademark Office. I have advised both U.S. and foreign companies on IP protection/procurement, portfolio management, strategy, enforcement, and risk mitigation. I routinely negotiate and draft licenses and IP clauses in contracts and development agreements. I excel at cross-functional collaboration with business and technical team leaders to craft IP strategies to help achieve company business goals. My legal skills are complimented by my strong interpersonal skills and technical experience, having a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering, with more than six years spent working as an engineer in R&D, product development, and production.Areas of Expertise: • Intellectual Property Law• Patent & Trademark Prosecution• Copyrights• Trade Secrets• IP Licensing & Agreements• Drafting and Negotiation• IP Enforcement• Opinions of Counsel• Training• M&APlease contact me directly at billcassin@gmail.com
