contentpilot/introduction

Whether a project requires knowledge of electronics, mechanics, physics, materials science, chemistry, medicine, or biotechnology, our diverse technical backgrounds allow us to work together to efficiently provide the highest level of experience to our clients in a broad sweep of technologies. Before we were attorneys, many of us were inventors, engineers and scientists. Our attorneys, technical advisors and patent agents hold degrees in areas such as Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Materials Sciences, Biology, Chemistry, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science. In addition, many hold Medical Doctorates, Ph.D.s and Masters Degrees. As attorneys, we actively engage with clients and immerse ourselves in their businesses to understand, build and implement technology and intellectual property driven strategies that add bottom-line value.
