Experience
Director & Ip Counsel - Ortho Tech
Apr 2024 — Present · CA, US
As Division IP Counsel for Ortho Tech at Stryker, I\'m primarily focused on orthopaedic robotics, instruments, and related technologies. I advise the management of a large OT patent portfolio and help mitigate third-party risk by overseeing right-to-use analyses and opinions of counsel. I work to strengthen existing department processes and launch new ones to protect AI, software, robotic, and mechanical innovations in the face of emerging IP developments, including changes in USPTO regulations & leadership. I conduct M&A IP diligence for potential acquisitions and investments, evaluating a target’s patents, trademarks, and IP litigation, in addition to trade secret, copyright, and open source practices. I also negotiate IP-focused agreements and regularly develop and deliver legal training on patents, AI & Open Source software.
