Firm: Foundation Patents, LLP
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.
