Practice Areas: Patent Application

As managing partner of Foundation Patents, I am a registered patent attorney who helps creative people realize their dreams.  My first love is working with inventors to craft their innovations into effective patents.  I focus on comprehensive specifications, illustrative figures and broad claims that capture the genius of an invention while covering all conceivable embodiments. I enjoy the back-and-forth process of figure and claim drafting with my clients, and I make a point of always being available to help ease the process from idea to issued patent.. I received my Bachelor’s at Princeton University and completed my physics course work at San Francisco State University.  I received my J.D. with Honors from the University of Oregon School of Law.  At Oregon, I received a Certificate in Intellectual Property for my course work in patent infringement.. In patent prosecution, I focus on mechanical apparatus devices, chemical compositions and computer-implemented method patents.  I represent businesses in patent litigation matters, copyright, trademark and trade secret infringement suits in both state and federal courts.  I perform U.S. and international trademark registrations, conduct trademark searches and draft freedom-to-operate opinions.  I counsel and prosecute U.S. patent and trademark applications for scientists, inventors, business people, artists and designers of all types.
