Alexander Ulysses Witkowski

Alex Witkowski is a patent attorney who was an engineer first. He joined Intel in 1988 and spent six years in product development on the Intel386, 486 and Pentium processors. Intel then sponsored him through law school, and for five years he drafted and prosecuted the company's patents in microprocessor architecture, computer hardware and software, and semiconductor process technology.

He has run his own practice, Witkowski Law, since 2008, prosecuting hardware, software and business-method applications and advising inventors, startups and technology companies on IP strategy and the business decisions around it. A stint as a patent examiner at the USPTO gives him a working sense of how an application is read on the other side of the desk. Two MBAs, from Columbia and London Business School, inform the business side of the counsel.

Clients anywhere in California work with the firm by Zoom. In-person meetings are available in the Bay Area and Los Angeles, and elsewhere in California by arrangement.
