John and I worked together years ago at a previous company, where he was the company general counsel specifically aiding my group with patent applications, intellectual property, NDAs, contracts and general agreements. John extremely valuable when the company filed for a public offering. He was alwa ys responsive, reasonable and diligent in our dealings. John was also extremely valuable in aiding my group in different R&D projects that ultimately resulted in several key patents. More recently, I asked John to review an agreement we had with another company, he gave me clear, direct insight and guidance that translated into a meaningful endpoint. I have been impressed with his knowledge base, especially wrt to the sciences.

John has efficiently handled our patent work for the last 16 years - he has filed several litigated infringment actions for us where we prevailed; he has drafted numerous opinions and counseled us on a variety of intellectual property maters, including licensing deals; he has filed well thought out p atent applications (that ultimately lead to valuable patents) in a number of technical fields. His advice has been extremely valuable to the growth and sucess of our company these past 16 years and it has been a pleasure to work with him. Most importantly, he has taken an intrest in our business and success, something not always found in outside counsel. I have no hesitation in recommending him as an outstanding attorney.

I used John for patent applications, intellectual property issues, inbound and outbound licensing, and related matters over a period of five years. John always got to the point and achieved what we needed in a practical and efficient way. He was also very effective in working with other lawyers when we sold the company.

John handled our IP for close to twenty years. He filed numerous successful patent applications for us; counseled, advised and guided us; investigated infringement/validity issues and wrote solid opinions on them; and represented us as both a plaintiff and a defendant on patent infringement claims a nd prevailed on both. John truly listened and heard what we said. He based his trustworthy advice and strategies on extensive experience and knowledge and they were always in our best interests. And, very importantly to us, John is an all around good guy and highly effective.
