Patents
Here’s a list of links to PDFs of the patents on this site. A few of these cases were also filed overseas. We’ve also recently filed a provisional application on the thermal Faraday shield.
I also do a fair amount of expert witness work in patent and trade secret cases. I’m always interested in new work, so send me an email and let’s talk about your application.
