My practice focuses upon providing full-service intellectual
property legal advice to my clients. I serve as lead counsel
for various parties involved in the acquisition, disposition,
licensing, and due diligence of intellectual property on a
local, national, and international level. I develop both national
and international intellectual property portfolios for clients
to maximize protection as well as potential derivative income.
I advise corporate executives and in-house counsel in adversarial
legal proceedings. I also provide legal opinions regarding
third party patents and help clients develop a business plan
to minimize potential exposure. I assist clients in challenging
patents before the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
I also assist clients in their strategic planning processes,
maintaining a network of clients and contacts worldwide.
I am admitted to the State Bar of Texas and the Southern District
of Texas. I am also registered to practice before the United
States Patent and Trademark Office. I am also a member of
the Houston Bar Association, a Board member of the Houston
Intellectual Property Lawyers Association, the American Intellectual
Property Lawyers Association, and the American Bar Association.
I am also a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers and
the Houston Producers Forum.
I also co-author the O'Connor's
Federal Intellectual Property Codes Plus book published
by Jones McClure.
I am proud to be a native Houstonian. I am active in the Small
Steps Nurturing Center, serving as a founder of and Steering
Committee member for the annual Small Steps Clays Classic.
I am also active in the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo as
a life member and served as a committeeman on the World’s Championship
Bar-B-Que Committee. My wife, Lexie, and I enjoy spending
time with our two children, Parker and Ella.
"Many thanks to you and your colleagues for the detailed
advice that you have provided and for the timeliness of the
information. It was much appreciated. It was always clear
that patent advice would be central to this transaction and
your firm provided a clear summary of the position backed
up by detailed analysis. We are most grateful."
