I specialize in preparing and prosecuting patent applications
before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in the fields of
computer software, electrical and mechanical systems, and
business methods. Additionally, I have experience reviewing
business agreements and counseling clients on issues of
intellectual property law and commercial law.
Prior to practicing law, I worked for over eight years as a
software engineer and computer technology specialist,
gaining expertise in object-oriented software development,
database management systems, computer networking,
Internet technologies, and operating systems.
In addition, I have studied computer science at the University
of California, Berkley, and electrical engineering at the
University of Illinois at Chicago. I am also an IBM Certified
Solutions Developer for XML and Related Technologies and
a Sun Microsystems Certified Programmer for the Java
Platform.
Prior to practicing patent law as an attorney, I was a patent
