Ryan has been an attorney in the field of intellectual property law for over 20 years. His practice is unique in that he handles legal issues for various types of technology from creation to enforcement. Ryan helps his clients secure registration and issuance of their patents, trademarks, and copyrights. Then, once obtained, Ryan assists his clients to protect their valuable intellectual property rights, license such rights, and enforce such rights in court. This unique wholistic approach allows Ryan to “see the big picture” for his clients (as opposed to being focused on any one narrow area of intellectual property law) and ensure that the rights obtained for his clients are in fact valuable rights that others will desire a license for and that can be used in court to actually stop infringing products and conduct.
