About Daniel Jackstadt

I am a patent attorney at Dorsey & Whitney LLP and regularly assist companies in every stage of growth with the strategic development of their patent portfolios. I have worked with clients ranging from multinational corporations to midsized companies and startups, including universities and research institutes, and have assisted companies through every life stage from incubation through acquisition. Recognizing patents as assets that support business, I work to understand each client’s business goals and to develop an intellectual property (IP) strategy specifically tailored to assist the client with meeting those goals.I have extensive experience in a wide range of IP-related matters, including domestic and international patent procurement (patent preparation and prosecution), portfolio management, and patent infringement and validity analyses. My practice also includes patent-related due diligence, licensing support, and litigation support.My electrical engineering background enables me to represent clients in a variety of industries, including computer hardware, semiconductor manufacturing and packaging, image and video processing, medical devices, optics, augmented and virtual reality, telecommunications, robotics, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and consumer devices. In the medical device industry, I have particular experience with cardiac and renal energy emitting catheters (e.g, radiofrequency ablation catheters, pulsed field ablation catheters), pulmonary and renal robotic surgical systems, cardiac mapping systems, analyte monitoring systems, patient monitoring systems, wearables, ophthalmic surgical devices, real-time marker tracking, and medical imaging. I also have significant experience counseling clients regarding (a) domestic and international design patent law directed to protecting the ornamental look and feel of their products and (b) trade secrets.
