About the Author

O.K. - who am I?

I have a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering and worked in all aspects of business in a 21 year career with DuPont. These included research, development, manufacturing, & business management.

After serving as VP of R&D for Imaging Systems and Medical Products for several years in Du Pont I took an early retirement and joined DTM Corporation in Austin Texas and served for 5 years helping to bring that company from a start-up status to an IPO in 1997. My role at DTM was VP Engineering and Manufacturing and I also served as the Intellectual Property Officer for the company.

I have hands on experience in directing both prosecution and litigation of patents in the United States and internationally. Areas of particular technical expertise include electro / optical / mechanical systems used for imaging and medical products, other hardware and software products related to capital equipment businesses, and the technologies of the chemical process industries.

I am a registered patent agent - United States Patent and Trademark Office.
