Profile
Shane is an Intellectual Property adviser who helps companies protect their intellectual genius. He uses his six years of engineering experience and his decades of legal experience to counsel billion-dollar companies to start-ups and individuals, helping develop intellectual property portfolios. In addition, Shane helps to enforce and defend intellectual property claims.
Companies hire Shane because he is able to understand their technologies and business goals, and to convert this into effective patent strategy.
Fortune 100 companies have turned to Shane to resolve important and challenging cases where other attorneys have been unsuccessful. He has been able to offer alternative solutions to clients that are often more cost effectively and timely, and he has helped them push applications through the USPTO so that they were able to obtain patents, and enforce their rights.
Shane has experience in all phases of patent prosecution, particularly in electrical and mechanical devices. Specifically, he has prosecuted patent applications related to software, the Internet, telecommunications (including mobile communications, gateways, routers and routing, echo cancellation, conference bridges, network protocols, wireless communication, QoS, CDMA), digital television (equalizers, graphics processing, liquid crystal displays (LCDs) etc.), bioinformatics (e.g., probabilistic determinations relating to genes and gene expressions, and predictive diagnostics), GPS, electrical circuits (e.g., VCOs, PLLs, feedback and feed-forward circuits), antennas, radar, power circuitry (e.g., UPS, power converters), semiconductor chip fabrication and testing, colorimetry, optics (including optical data transmission), lasers, personal data assistants, control systems, storage systems (e.g., RAID, distributed file systems, segmented file systems), lottery systems, ultrasound, MRI, radiation therapy, medical/surgical instruments, medical diagnostic apparatus, industrial furnaces, musical instruments, klystrons, impedance matching devices, business methods, insurance policies, infant-related apparatus (including toys, safety seats, high chairs), wine aerators, and health and safety products. Shane also has experience with other technologies including Coriolis flowmeters, Internet search technologies, and Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Prior to his legal career, Shane worked in Hughes Aircraft Company’s Antenna Systems Laboratory designing military and commercial radar antennas.
Shane is admitted to practice in California, Massachusetts, and is registered to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
