"As a seasoned intellectual property attorney, I specialize in developing strategic intellectual property solutions that align with your business objectives. My passion for building assets for creative individuals led me to work closely with inventors and businesspeople to create robust intellectual property assets. I have experience in licensing intellectual property rights, drafting, prosecuting, and filing various U.S. and managing foreign intellectual property cases for AgChem companies, solving freedom-to-operate concerns, and negotiating research agreements. I am passionate about building assets for companies and protecting biotechnology, germplasm, mechanical, and chemical inventions. Beyond legal boundaries, I have previously been an active member of the American Seed Trade Association's international executive committee (ASTA). I also advocated for seed trade facilitation in China and India by promoting solid legal frameworks for Plant Variety Protection (PVP) laws. I have been an Associate Director in a technology transfer office at a university. In all my endeavors, I have enjoyed teamwork and sharing my knowledge of IP. I have developed short 'how-to' seminars designed to help a team better understand IP and the value of IP asset building. I will work with you, and potentially also your team, to achieve your business's goals through practical solutions. I aspire to be more than just your trusted advisor; I want to be a key component in helping your team and your business discover, build, and strengthen its intellectual property opportunities."
