  • Ended a non-practicing entity campaign across four district court cases by filing three inter partes reviews; the board instituted on all three and the plaintiff dismissed for no payment.
  • Built a
    4M annual licensing line from nine cross-license agreements, two with the company’s closest hardware rivals.
  • Rebuilt the trade secret program after a researcher departure, tightening access control and exit interviews across 900 R&D staff with no misappropriation claim since.
  • Chairs the invention review board; disclosures rose from 0.4 to 1.3 per engineer per year once a filing bonus was tied to the review.

  • Cut average filing cost by 28% by rewriting the outside-counsel drafting template and moving foreign coverage to a PCT-first strategy.

Patent Associate, Kellerman Pike LLP · October 2011 – May 2015

  • Drafted and prosecuted 130 applications for semiconductor and medical device clients while recording 1,900 chargeable hours a year.
