Recognized as a Super Lawyer every year since 2019, I hold a “Superb” rating on both Avvo and Justia. I have also consistently been ranked among the top three patent attorneys in Washington, D.C., by ThreeBestRated since 2016.. As an adjunct professor at the University of Maryland, I specialize in teaching the legal facets of entrepreneurship, with a strong emphasis on Intellectual Property and Patents. I currently serve as the Managing Director and a registered patent attorney at NovoTech Patent Firm, located in Washington, D.C. My contributions extend to co-authoring the annually updated "Patent Applications Handbook" by West Publications.. My expertise lies in patent preparation and prosecution, focusing on fields such as electrical engineering and computer science. I have successfully secured patents in cutting-edge areas including AI, machine learning, medical devices, semiconductors, and mobile applications. I am experienced in patent reexaminations and provide comprehensive advice on patent licensing, validity, enforceability, and infringement.. Previously, I was a Partner at McDermott Will & Emery and an Associate at Fish & Richardson, both in Washington, D.C. Additionally, I served as in-house counsel at Panasonic Corporation in Osaka, Japan, and have dedicated time to pro bono work at the Landlord-Tenant Resource Center in D.C. My technical acumen is bolstered by my early career as a radio frequency technician..
