How Brett Helps Clients

Brett’s primary responsibilities include the preparation and prosecution of patent applications in a variety of technical areas including automotive technology, agriculture, medical devices, fluid treatment systems, optical devices, electronics, and biomechanical devices.  A significant part of his practice involves the preparation of clearance, validity, invalidity, infringement and non-infringement opinions. 

Brett’s thriving practice has a special emphasis on the automotive industry. All aspects of automotive IP are within his unique expertise, including functional IP (mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and software) and design. The digitalization of automobiles in the last 15 years and the role data plays in the driving experience are rapidly changing the industry. Understanding the role of IP in these changes is a special talent, and Brett’s passion for the car and its driver fuels this focus of his practice. He has traveled often to Germany and lectured in Stuttgart and Munich on U.S. IP law and its role in the automotive industry.
