About Richard
Biography
I am passionate about helping small to mid-sized businesses grow through building strategic, cost effective but meaningful intellectual property portfolios, although I represent all sizes of businesses, from the sole inventor to Fortune 100 companies. My primary focus is patent and trademark procurement, patent litigation and opinion work, but I also have substantial experience helping companies generate revenue using intellectual property assets, conducting IP-related due diligence for investors and companies when their investments, purchases or sales involve IP assets.
