What do you focus on?

My patent prosecution practice involves building and expanding global patent portfolios. I implement patent mining workshops across the globe to help clients generate new IP for monetization purposes. I manage a large team of diverse Nixon Peabody lawyers, and I leverage a global network of foreign associates that provides clients with a seamless and efficient global IP prosecution experience. My practice covers a wide variety of technologies, including medical devices, systems for aiding sleep disordered breathing, healthcare management systems, photo management systems, software, fintech, gemstones, smart electronics, railway systems, wearable technology, beverage systems, dental systems, energy generation and storage systems, toys, and business methods, among others.
Litigation
My litigation experience includes winning a high-stakes patent arbitration; drafting complaints, motions, and supporting memoranda in Illinois state and federal courts; conducting discovery in Illinois state and federal cases; and successfully arguing an opposition to a motion to dismiss in Illinois state court. I have been instrumental in achieving beneficial settlements for several clients.
