Qualifications:
I am a Registered Patent Practitioner, but I also have the advantages of being a licensed Professional Engineer - Electrical, of having a B.S. degree in Physics from Principia College, of having M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Science and Engineering from Stanford University, and of having over 40 years of engineering and intellectual property experience within Silicon Valley. In addition, I have a Certificate in General Management from The University of Santa Clara's Graduate School of Business and Administration and a Certificate in Telecommunications Engineering and Technology from The University of California - Berkeley.
As an experienced engineer and inventor with a deep technical knowledge in many fields, I have a great advantage for identifying what an inventor should claim within his/her patent application to obtain the broadest allowable patent protection. I have worked for both small and large companies, the Air Force, and NASA. I have worked for three start-up companies. I have worked 20 years for the Hewlett-Packard Co. at their HP-Labs. My experience is in research, invention, product development, intellectual property creation and strategy formation, patent applications, prior-art searches, right-to-use searches, creativity mentoring, and creativity training.
My fields of technical experience and expertise include optics, photonics, imaging, printing, sensors, electronics, telecommunications, radio, mechanics, aeronautics, astronautics, operations research, modeling, simulation, industrial engineering, processing, integrated circuit manufacturing, computer control, statistical control, and software. I have developed products for such markets as consumer, education, communication, metrology, manufacturing, aerospace, defense, construction, farming, processing, research, and business.
I am NAPP® Certified. (NAPP® does not endorse or warrant the services of its members; this certification is voluntary; and there is no procedure in California for approving NAPP® certification.)
