About Rob Baraona
I am a dedicated and personable professional with law firm and in-house experience. I help clients create value from intellectual assets by:* Promoting smart innovation and, when appropriate, securing patents, copyrights, and trademarks in the U.S. and all over the world;* Developing strategies to manage and right-size IP portfolios and influence competitors\' behavior;* Negotiating IP-adjacent contracts to help clients and their partners monetize ideas and realize their business objectives; and* Finding pragmatic solutions whenever good ideas run into real world problems.I have extensive experience with battery and chemical coating technologies, as well as packaging/dispensing solutions, aerospace and automotive components, and medical devices. I\'ve worked with individuals, start ups, and fortune 500 companies, but about half of my client base resides in mid- to large-sized manufacturers with a global presence. I also routinely advise clients of all stripes on software and IP licensing, contract negotiations, government/regulatory matters, and good, old fashioned problem solving.
