He conducts pre-suit and IP due diligence investigations and provides freedom-to-operate and opinions relating to infringement and validity, as well as litigating patent infringement cases. Iain also drafts and negotiates patent licenses and develops patent procurement and prosecution strategies. He has practiced before the USPTO for over 25 years and has extensive experience preparing and prosecuting patent applications. He has also been involved in many post-grant procedures before the PTO.

For the past several years, his work has involved telecommunications, including cellular base stations and antennas, distributed antenna systems, WiFi and RF systems, components, and fiber optical systems.
