A patent lawyer with a focus on the mechanical arts, Kevin believes the best way to represent a client in the intellectual property field is to develop an in-depth understanding of how an invention works and how it impacts the business to which it pertains.To that end Kevin tries, whenever possible, to go out in the field and visit clients.He believes these trips are critical to his detailed understanding of an invention, the problem the invention has solved, and the client's needs.
