Biography

Specializing in U.S. and foreign patent preparation and prosecution, Josh works across a diverse range of technologies, with particular depth in tissue engineering, stem cells, implantable medical devices, and genetic sequence listings. He assists clients in evaluating intellectual property coverage, protecting core IP assets, managing domestic and international patent prosecution, and preparing infringement, noninfringement, freedom to operate, and validity opinions. His client base spans health science and medical device companies, retail businesses, and early stage ventures, giving him a broad perspective on the unique IP challenges that organizations face at every stage of growth.

Beyond patent prosecution, Josh advises clients on comprehensive intellectual property strategy, portfolio management, and IP valuations in transactional matters. He regularly counsels clients on the selection, clearance, maintenance, licensing, and enforcement of their trademarks, ensuring that brand protection is fully integrated into each client's broader IP strategy.

What truly distinguishes Josh is his ability to understand the science behind his clients' technologies at a foundational level. He holds a Master's Degree in Biotechnology and brings relevant experience as a medical technologist at a medical reference laboratory, equipping him with the scientific fluency needed to grasp complex innovations quickly and to provide the practical, technically informed advice that clients in the life sciences and medical device industries rely on.
