About Elizabeth Boehm
As a Patent Agent with over five years of experience in Wolf Greenfield’s Biotechnology Practice, I assist the firm in biotechnology patent prosecution, supporting clients ranging from start-ups to multinational companies to universities in technology areas such as biochemistry, molecular biology, and biophysics. This work includes assisting with application drafting, portfolio development, freedom-to-operate searching and analysis, patent portfolio diligence.As part of my firm’s Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) team, I review PTA calculations from the USPTO on granted patents for accuracy. This includes reviewing the Federal Register, including prior PTA rules spanning over different time periods, to ensure that the appropriate PTA rules were used to assess PTA. These patents are from firm clients and their competitors. I also prepare petitions to the USPTO for corrected PTA, and regularly engage with the USPTO’s Office of Patent Legal Administration on PTA issues not addressed by the MPEP. I received my PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Iowa where I focused my doctoral research on in vitro and biophysical techniques to study the protein complex that forms at replication forks stalled by damaged DNA. My graduate work resulted in several publications of research articles, review papers, essays and methods papers, as well as a talk at a Gordon Conference. I was also a post-doctoral research fellow in Johannes Walter’s lab at Harvard Medical School, where I utilized Xenopus laevis nuclear extracts and biochemical techniques. Outside of the office, I’m passionate about dog rescue and have served as a foster and volunteer for a local dog rescue.
