I am a registered patent attorney with extensive experience in a broad range of intellectual property matters including acquisition, protection and monetization. With a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and a Juris Doctorate from the University of Iowa, I have an ideal background to handle a wide range of intellectual property matters.

He has counseled large corporations, start-up companies, and individuals on developing, building, and maintaining intellectual property portfolios, both domestically and internationally.

I have negotiated and drafted licensing agreements between rights holders and fortune 500 companies. Tom has also facilitated the sale of various intellectual property assets.

I have conducted proactive threat analyses to protect companies from infringement claims and piracy. He has counseled clients on effective risk mitigation; both offensive and defensive. I have also conducted trademark cancellation and opposition proceedings in multiple jurisdictions.

I have conducted domestic and international seminars in the areas of claims drafting practice, patent prosecution, trademark usage and licensing.
