Biography

Dan uses his broad engineering background to help clients with patent issues related to a wide range of technologies, such as sensors, signal processing, computer software and networking, and medical devices. He handles all aspects of patent prosecution, from drafting through appeals. Dan also advises companies on other intellectual property matters that include IP protection and concerns related to competitors’ IP. He prepares infringement, noninfringement, validity, and nonvalidity opinions. Additionally, Dan has substantial patent litigation experience.
