A former scientist, engineer, and inventor with research and development and product management experience at AT&T Bell Laboratories and Danaher Corporation, Naresh primarily concentrates his practice on patent law, including litigation, prosecution, and counseling.
Naresh’s patent litigation experience includes district court litigation and contested proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), such as inter partes reviews (IPRs). He has extensive experience preparing and prosecuting patents before the US Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) as well as filing international patent applications and coordinating international patent-prosecution activities with country-specific local counsel. Naresh routinely counsels clients on freedom-to-operate (FTO) issues, patent and technology landscapes, the patentability of new products, intellectual property portfolio management, and IP licensing agreements.
Naresh’s practice covers a variety of technologies spanning the biomedical, chemistry, electrical, optical, computer, software, and mechanical industries, including medical devices, chemical technologies, materials science, semiconductors, electrical engineering, computer networking, telecommunications, software, cloud computing, financial technologies, and blockchain.
Because of his strong industry background, Naresh has assisted clients as embedded and seconded in-house patent counsel, including for a global consumer-health business and for a leading semiconductor innovation company.
