Profile
David has extensive experience prosecuting United States and International patent applications in a number of technical fields including mechanical, electrical, computer hardware, computer software, geospatial imaging and analysis, medical diagnostic, business method and optical communications technologies. He also advises clients regarding issues arising from acts in commerce as well as use of trade, service and certification marks and obtaining federal registrations for such marks. David has also represented clients with IP due diligence audits in-connection with corporate acquisitions. In addition, he assisted corporations with establishing in-house IP programs, thereby implementing procedures for auditing, identifying and obtaining intellectual property as well as procedures for managing and minimizing risk and exposure to the intellectual property of others. He is a former non-equity shareholder of a major Salt Lake City-based IP law firm.
Beginning in the Fall of 1999, he worked as a Patent Examiner for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office where he examined U.S. and International PCT patent applications. He searched patents and scientific literature databases for prior art and substantively examined patent applications for patentability and matters of form.
David is an avid hockey player who also loves to snowboard, camp, wake-board, ride motorcycles and snow-mobiles, collect stamps and spend time with his son and wife.
