Timothy’s Experience

Timothy manages and helps monetize patent portfolios for various domestic and international clients. He counsels clients on avoiding the infringement of third-party patents, opines on infringement and/or validity of individual patents, and advises on strategies for avoiding third party patent portfolios, all while focusing on meeting the overall business goals of the client.  

Although his background is in chemical engineering, Timothy has knowledge and experience in many diverse fields of technology, including polymer chemistry, polymer catalyst technologies, mechanical and electromechanical technologies, textile technologies, medical devices and technologies, and pharmaceutical chemistry.

Timothy uses his 20-plus years of experience to quickly and efficiently solve clients’ problems as they arise. He regularly prepares and prosecutes patent applications before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and is experienced in all aspects of ex parte patent practice, including examiner interviews, third-party submissions, appeals, interferences, reexaminations, reissues, and inter partes reviews (IPR).  

Timothy also has significant and unique experiences in collaborating with non-U.S. patent counsel in opposition and invalidation proceedings before the European Patent Office, the Chinese Patent Office and the Japanese Patent Office.
