IP Works
When the tech and IP story
needs to hold up.
A compelling story can still
leave questions unanswered.
Does the patent portfolio reinforce the business story?
Do the claims track the products, roadmap, and competitor markets?
Where does the position create leverage — and where is it vulnerable?
Where should legal review focus,
and what can wait?
Litigation context matters.
Patent analysis looks different when the
position may be tested.

DILIGENCE REVIEW
I identify where the position appears solid, where it may be vulnerable, and where counsel should focus next.
Where I Fit.
01
Before legal spend expands
For investors and acquirers evaluating whether a company’s tech and IP story holds up.
I identify strengths, vulnerabilities, and areas where outside counsel should focus as diligence moves forward.
02
Before investor scrutiny
For technology companies preparing to refine their tech and IP story before scrutiny.
I identify where the portfolio aligns with the business, where gaps may surface, and what should be tightened before the next critical conversation.
03
When patent matters get technical
For legal teams that need litigation-tested technical depth without adding drag to the matter.
I support litigation, pre-litigation, inter partes review, licensing, and portfolio review with clear, well-supported analysis.
04
Complementary to counsel
For matters where technical and IP analysis should make the legal work sharper, not replace it.
I do not provide legal opinions or act as legal counsel. My work helps clients and counsel start from clearer facts, sharper questions, and a more focused record.
Trial preparation and theme development
in a complex litigation involving counterclaims, an extensive factual record, and more than 12 experts.
Experience that informs the work.
Portfolio analysis and patent assertion
in a competitor dispute where patent selection affected leverage and settlement posture.
Infringement, non-infringement, and invalidity theory development
across more than 25 U.S. District Court patent litigation matters.
Prior art identification and analysis
in matters spanning inter partes review, U.S. District Court cases, and licensing matters.
Coordination of patent analysis teams
in a large pre-litigation patent licensing project.
Litigation, licensing, settlement, and strategic decision support
across more than thirteen years of patent litigation and IP analysis work.
Calm judgment for complex work.
I am a USPTO-registered patent professional with a PhD in materials chemistry and more than thirteen years of experience supporting patent litigation, inter partes review, pre-litigation analysis, prior art development, and patent portfolio review.
I enjoy tackling challenging problems, focusing on details, and seeing tasks through to completion. I played sports through college, built research-grade semiconductor processing equipment in graduate school, and maintain a hands-on, problem-solver mindset outside of work.
This approach shapes my professional work. I am trusted to handle under-developed technical and patent issues independently and synthesize my findings into thorough, easily understandable outputs.
I live in the Kansas City area with my wife and four children.
