Mr. Smith assists clients ranging from individual inventors to large corporations including international companies. His emphasis is on patent litigation as well as copyright and trademark litigation and drafting opinion letters.
Mr. Smith has been involved in patent prosecution and patent litigation covering a range of client technologies from particle counters to kidney dialysis to agglomerated and colloidal minerals and numerous technologies in between.
