Experience
Partner
Apr 2016 — Present · New York, NY, US
I am an attorney who understands how patents interrelate with corporate and commercial business strategies. As a former General Counsel in a private equity firm and executive-level in-house patent counsel at both Computer Associates and SAP AG, I utilize my corporate experience to help clients protect their intellectual property and develop monetizing and risk mitigation strategies that leverage their assets and protect corporate capital and revenue streams. My business-minded perspective is complimented by a deep technical understanding born of my years as an Electrical Engineer in the field at Eaton Corp, AIL Division prior to my legal career. A well-honed in-house perspective allows me to serve clients well by understanding the complexities and demands that my in-house counterparts face and to be responsive to those needs.I am well-versed in patent and trademark application preparation and prosecution, IP licensing negotiating and drafting, litigation support, IP due diligence, freedom-to-operate evaluations, IP brokerage agreement negotiating and drafting, open source licensing and evaluation, standards and standards licensing, IP risk management program development, IP policy formation, copyrights, data protection and safe harbor compliance, software and software-related service agreements, and complex commercial transactions.
