Intellectual Property Law
I provide comprehensive intellectual property services tailored to North Dakota’s entrepreneurs, energy companies, manufacturers, agriculture innovators, and tech startups. With my chemical engineering degree, eight years of analyzing inventions and drafting patent applications at boutique firms for fortune 500 companies and nationally-ranked universities, and active registration to practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO Registration No. 71,062), I’m uniquely equipped to protect your innovations from initial concept through enforcement.
My intellectual property services include:
