These computer- and software-based industries have significant challenges in protecting their intellectual property due to recent U.S. Supreme Court and Federal Circuit decisions. Christian is able to quickly understand his clients’ technologies, provide practical advice, and develop creative strategies for gaining IP protection.
“With my background, I can ask more pointed questions of the engineers I’m working with that perhaps someone without a computer science or software background could,” explains Girtz. “Clients appreciate that I can think about how I might have implemented the solution they are looking to patent and understand the problem it’s solving.”
