I advise clients to protect their IP assets and manage their IP risks in the commercial marketplace, with an emphasis on patent transactional issues such as patent procurement, product clearance, due diligence of IP assets, the changing legal landscape in view of the America Invents Act, and IP-related agreements including licensing, joint development, cooperative research agreements, supply agreements, and more. I am a registered patent lawyer, a partner in the Haynes and Boone, LLP IP group, and have been practicing law for almost 18 years. I have helped technology-saavy clients in industries as varied as healthcare, energy, materials, food, automotive, leisure/golf, and more.
