  Patent attorney

  Armstrong Teasdale LLP Privately Held; 201-500 employees; Law Practice industryI am a registered patent attorney working in the firm’s Intellectual Property practice group. Prior engineering experience gives me added perspective in providing practical solutions when working with entrepreneurs, inventors and design engineers. The majority of my time is focused on the preparation and prosecution of U.S. and foreign patent applications, ensuring that they are not vulnerable to competitors’ challenges. I concentrate on matters in the mechanical arts. I guide clients through initial patent infringement analyses and invalidity opinions, providing tailored enforcement procedures. In litigious situations, I prepare cease and desist letters, and negotiate settlement agreements. Show less
