About

I'm a creative patent attorney who serves biotech and hi-tech clients in the areas of patent drafting, patent prosecution, and licensing.  My experience in both of these areas allows me to serve clients developing hybrid technologies that combine biology and computer science such as bioinformatics, molecular computing, and synthetic biology. Before law school, I worked in molecular biology laboratories at the University Washington, Children’s Hospital in Seattle, and the Chemo-Sero-Therapeutic Research Institute in Japan. During law school, I interned at the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Intellectual Ventures, and Nakamura & Partners in Tokyo.I am a member of the international practice group at my law firm which provides me with experience in the patent practices of many different jurisdictions including Japan, China, Korea, Europe, Canada, Australia, and India. I have worked in Japan both in legal and scientific roles and an conversant in Japanese.

Having filed patents with more than 10 different patent attorneys over the years, I must say that Ben is without a doubt THE BEST I have worked with! He and I have worked together now on 8 separate applications in the space of biotechnology and software. Ben is remarkable in his ability and willingness to understanding new technologies at the deepest levels and is able to provide real insight into how best to generalize and protect the ideas. He puts in the extra effort and does background research necessary to bring himself to the level of expert in the field and then is able to fill in many of the gaps needed to build out a truly robust application. He asks the right questions and is very good at addressing ambiguity. His writing style makes the final applications an absolute pleasure to read with clear, pedagogical presentation of concepts and great strategic flow. The idea often ends up way better than when it started and I end up thinking, "Wow!". I can't recommend Ben highly enough!!
