His practice is currently focused on patent preparation and prosecution, opinions, and licensing.
Prior to joining Potomac Patent Group in 2004, Mike was an equity partner for eight years in a large patent boutique.
He is experienced in patent prosecution, particularly for cellular and digital telecommunications, speech recognition and cryptographic computer software and hardware,

Mike has conducted studies of dozens of patents, particularly in the fields of wireless telecommunications and semiconductor devices.
Mike has also assisted in patent infringement litigations in the U.S. District Courts, and he is familiar with the role of patents in the workings of standard-setting organizations,

particularly CRADAs, in export control of equipment and technology, and intellectual property aspects of corporate mergers, acquisitions and investments.
Before becoming a lawyer, Mike was a senior engineer at Eaton Corporation, AIL Division, involved in the design,
evaluation and application of visible and infrared receivers for remote sensing, particularly laser heterodyne,
