SERVICES
Experience as expert with case technical strategy, claim analysis, Markman hearing, prior art, invalidity, non-infringment, false advertising, failure to meet specifications, preparation for deposition, preparation of expert report, and preparation for testimony. Innovative design consulting: If you have a particular problem in your design or bottleneck in your process with which you need help, call me. I am particularly good at applying high technology to unusual real-world problems. I invented a microwave method of sensing the state of cure of tires in the mold, which improved the total production throughput of tire plants by 15%. I identified a way of shortening the receivables billing (and collection!) cycle for a major courier service by several days. I can invent new solutions for you, help complete your invention, and help you develop and complete your patent. I also do due diligence, analyzing companies, products, and technologies for investment and strategic planning.
