I have over 25 years of experience in patent drafting, prosecution, and post-issuance proceedings in the electrical, computer, mechanical, and health related fields. I have secured important patents in fields such as mobile payment technologies, fiber optics, text messaging technologies, location technologies, semiconductors, optical systems, lasers and many others. I have had more than a dozen patents successfully survive the post-grant challenges of Inter Partes Reviews (IPR) and reexams. I have also testified on numerous occasions in support of patents that I wrote with successful outcomes for the client. I started my career as a practicing Design Engineer for 10 years before entering the patent profession, and have been working with RYUKA IP Law Firm since 2017.
