Wes Parker assists clients with patent inventions and intellectual property asset management—working to understand each client’s business goals and competitive environment to craft their patent strategies accordingly. He prepares and prosecutes design patents to protect ornamental features of inventions, analyzes competitor patents to give non-infringement and invalidity opinions, targets patent claims to competitor products and technical standards, and directs filing and prosecution of patent applications in foreign countries. Wes has a wide range of experience related to electronic circuit design, semiconductor processing, wireless communication, medical devices, apparel, power tools, and sporting equipment, among other technologies. He excels at helping clients use design patents as a valuable supplement or alternative to utility patents.
