Doman Surgical portfolio

I have worked with the attorneys at BATEMAN IP for nearly 20 years at two different medical device companies. Our IP portfolio has been key to value creation at both companies. We have successfully defended our intellectual property, and strategic partners and investors continue to compliment the str...ength of the patents BATEMAN IP obtained for us.

Intellectual property lawyer | Jan 15

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Mr. Wight is a superb patent attorney, with a depth of experience that few law firms -- let alone individuals -- can match. He obtains excellent patents, even when faced with staggeringly difficult and complex cases. He's just as good a mentor: thoughtful, patient, and very kind. Whether you're looking for someone to work for, or to work with in protecting your intellectual property, this is the guy you want."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
