Biography

I am an patent, trademark, and IP attorney admitted in NY and CT. I assist companies, institutions, and individuals in planning and executing IP strategies, including creating technologies, obtaining strong protection and enforcement, acquiring, licensing, brokering and selling patents, and assist in developing commercialization plans. I work with other members of the firm to provide a full range of legal services.

I specialize in interdisciplinary technologies, especially Internet/networking, computer and information science, cryptography, cryptocurrencies/distributed ledger, modified reality, ad hoc communications networks, information security, optimization theory, human interface systems and ergonomics, automated control systems, data and image analysis, and MEMS, nanotechnologies, medical devices, and biotech/pharma. I am inventor of >111 US patents.
