About The Author

I am an associate patent attorney with Eschweiler & Associates, an intellectual property boutique firm in the Cleveland area. The current focus of my practice is patent preparation and prosecution.

My primary intellectual and professional interests reside in the software arts. I have been writing software for virtually my entire life, and my work continues today on a variety of projects, including artificial intelligence, database design and data-driven applications, and web programming and services. I am also working toward a Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD) license, primarily out of intellectual curiosity. Software is also the focus of my professional efforts, and I am an ardent advocate of intellectual property protection (particularly by patents) in the software arts.

However, my science and technology interests cover a spectrum of arts ranging from biotechnology/life sciences to semiconductor fabrication techniques. My professional skills are similarly and by necessity broad. I have experience with technology licensing, technology transfer issues, and patent porfolio management (drawing on a five-year career as associate patent counsel with a local healthcare institution.) This background is critical for procuring patents that fit with each client's business interests.
