As president and founder of the firm and COO of Anticipat, a patent data company, I am no stranger to the challenges of starting new and innovative businesses—and the benefits of constantly innovating. My journey from starting the firm in half of my son’s bedroom to representing Fortune 500 and other publicly traded companies has been a blessed one. Along the way, my experiences have ranged from successfully issuing a software patent in 11 months using Track 1 examination to obtaining final rejection of a publicly traded conductive energy weapon company’s patent via ex parte reexamination. To date, I have written and been involved in the prosecution of hundreds of patents across the entire spectrum of technology.
