What you should know about me:
After a 20-year engineering career, including 10 years as a patent agent, I went to law school with the singular goal of becoming a patent attorney. I’ve found the engineering experience to be invaluable in building relationships with inventors. During inventor interviews, the common experience and language allows a free discussion, often leading to broader scope of the invention and better patent coverage.
