Bainbridge Island Patent Lawyer & Patent Attorney
I regularly visit Bainbridge Island by sail, including time at the Seattle Yacht Club outstations in Eagle Harbor and Port Madison. These visits reflect how closely innovation, craftsmanship, and community reputation are connected in the region.
If you are searching for a Bainbridge Island, Washington patent lawyer or patent attorney, I work with inventors, startups, and established businesses on patent protection, enforcement, and defense. Whether you are evaluating patent infringement risks, responding to a patent cease and desist letter, pursuing licensing opportunities, or planning litigation strategy, I help clients make informed, cost-effective decisions.
My practice includes patent validity analysis, freedom-to-operate assessments, portfolio development guidance, licensing negotiations, and coordination of PTAB and court proceedings. I focus on aligning patent strategy with product development and long-term business objectives.
When disputes arise, I assist clients with early case assessment, expert coordination, and evidence development to position matters for efficient resolution, whether through negotiation, administrative review, or litigation.
