I help technology companies throughout the Northwest obtain patent protection for innovations in computer and software technologies, including semiconductors, cellular standards, mobile image analysis, and recognition software. My clients include large multinational companies, solo inventors starting their first business, and everyone in between. The most rewarding part of my job is working with inventors who are passionate about their ideas.

I attribute my intellectual property know-how to my diverse professional experiences at a leading global IP law firm, two patent boutiques, a small general practice firm, and working in-house at a start-up. Combined, these experiences give me a unique understanding of what clients in different economic or entrepreneurial situations may view as important. As a result, I work with clients to develop individualized strategies based on their particular needs, allowing me to maximize intellectual property protection while minimizing unnecessary costs and worry.
