ABOUT MILAN KAPADIA

As an attorney and computer engineer, my experience includes in-house patent attorney, patent agent/attorney with preeminent patent law firms, and patent examiner with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). I have worked extensively with patent prosecution, examination, client counseling, and litigation around electrical, computer, and data processing patents and patent applications. After obtaining my JD degree, I was one of only 13 people awarded a Fulbright scholarship to India. During the year I spent in India, I researched the implications of that country’s software patent law and presented my findings to the most prestigious law school in India. As a result, I was asked to teach a six-day seminar based on my research. As a patent attorney with Knobbe, Martens, Olson, and Bear, LLP, I worked closely with the USPTO and outside counsel. The scope of my work included patent litigation and prosecution, research, client portfolio analysis and management, and patent interference and appeals. In my current role as patent portfolio manager with Boeing, I manage a portfolio of almost patents — 82% of which have been issued during my tenure with the company. I consistently obtain patents faster and at a lower cost than other patent attorneys and possess outstanding risk mitigation skills. My global experience began with the Fulbright Scholarship in India; since that time, I have given many presentations around the world on IP-related topics including patent subject-matter eligibility and global patent prosecution. My role at Boeing is global as well, involving significant interaction with foreign counterparts to the USPTO. Outside of work, I am a Houston Astros fan and enjoy hiking and ziplining.
