PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

•  An intellectual/technology law firm dealing at the intersection of law, technology, science, business, and art.

•  The firm helps the entrepreneur and seasoned professional to develop, protect, and exploit their intellectual property assets.

•  Established processes and management tools to implement portfolio management that provided a means to review patterns that might result in future business development opportunities.

•  Implemented management of the Intellectual property, including patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets.

•  Wrote and prosecuted Motorola's 2003 Semiconductor Product Sector's Patent of the Year which has secured and is currently being licensed for large revenue streams.

•  Initiated strategic use of intellectual property to enhance present and future position in the market place by licensing out a patent portfolio involving Organic Light Emitting Devices (OLED).

•  Strategic licensing-out, licensing-in, and acquisition of technology, thereby positioned intellectual property assets for present and future market places, as well as enabling licensee(s) to join in the market.

•  Initiated and chaired organization's Patent Committee that decides patentablity and focus of patent disclosures.

•  Developed business relationships by negotiating and providing legal support services for Joint Development, Consortiums, and other business development tools so as to better position Motorola in the marketplaces of the present and in the future.

•  Prosecuted patent applications which secured patent protection for Motorola's advanced and key technologies through the Patent and Trademark Office.

•  Provided business development support to PSRL while attending law school.

•  Obtained registration as a Patent Agent to practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (July 9, 1993).

•  Wrote and prosecuted some of Motorola's most advanced and key technology patents through the PTO.

•  Areas of patent application prosecution expertise include chemical processing, optics, semiconductor device, and mechanical.

•  Developed the capability to use the Automatic Patent Search (APS) system for evaluation of several factors such as relative worth among Motorola's own patents, exposing possible infringers of Semiconductor Product Sector patents, and prior art searches using the same data base that the patent examiners use at the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

•  Identified patentable inventions, identifying possible infringers, and developing defensive strategies.

•  Researched and developed production worthy deposition processes using an Applied Material 5000 Chemical Vapor Deposition system for fabricating integrated circuits.

•  Researched and developed a production worth trench etches process for submicron bipolar VHSIC products.

•  Researched and developed the first optical photolithographic process for submicron features.

•  Researched and developed a selective tungsten deposition process for vias with depths ranging from 0.4u to 20.0.u.

•  In charge of a three shift operation, engineering and production, of pre-nitride oxidation/Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (LPCVD) nitride sandwich structure while increasing capacity by over 90 percent and reducing particles by over 90 percent.

•  Increased process yields of the previously mentioned sandwich structure from 69 percent to over 90 percent.

•  Developed a wafer to wafer inspection system.

•  Developed and provided a low phosphors containing film suitable for dielectric layer in Very Large Scaled Integrated Circuit (VLSIC) fabrication.

•  Developed a plasma metal etch process for patterning metal lines for VLSICs.

•  Developed a sloped electrical contact for manufacturing VLSICs.

•  Designed and conducted independent experiments on immunological effects of morphine dependency.

•  Designed and managed experimental programs involving basic mechanisms of suppressor cell function, as well as their relation to hypersensitivity.
