About Francis
Biography
Patent Attorney with a Mechanical Engineering background, and with significant experience in both Patent prosecution and Trademark enforcement litigation in Federal Court. Enthusiastic in learning about emerging technologies so much so, that I filed several patent applications on personal inventions during law school. And while studying for the Nevada BAR Exam, learned Android programming and development to create a sound emoji app for Android.
In 2019, I left my previous law firm to found my own law firm, The Law Forge. With the new law firm, my goal is to leverage new technologies to make Intellectual Property and Buiness transactional law more accessible.
