Brett Nelson

I own a Biotechnology service company (started in 1996). In our industry, it is critical to invent new technologies periodically and have legal support to protect IP (i.e. writing letters to violators). Brett has been instrumental helping us secure new IP and his advice on patent issues has been inva...luable (for example, when to pick a fight and when to settle a dispute over IP). Brett is fully committed to the best interest of my company. In this spirit, Brett has a special talent among IP lawyer professionals, he possess a unique ability to see beyond the basic legal aspects of our patent needs by weaving IP into the fabric of our corporate mission. Brett's expertise is critical in guiding my understanding of the strategic nature of our corporate intellectual property assets. He adds tremendous value by teaching me and our in-house legal staff the breadth and depth and connections of our old IP, new our IP and helps us define targets for future IP. Brett empowers our organization to capture the true value of our IP portfolio. It is without pause that I consider Brett a world leader in this domain.
