Welcome
You've reached a collection of my thoughts that seemed important enough to share. These come from good guesses, hard knocks and hopefully a dose of humor. My biases lie in what I do: Intellectual Property Law, Entrepreneurialism and the intersection of the two. I am a Utah Patent Lawyer.

Lunch: Off the Clock and No Bill
Ever want to get a feel for what Intellectual Property Law is about without worry of getting that big bill? Take me to lunch and you can have an hour of my time and we'll talk shop. You won't be my client during that time, so there's no bill and no commitment from either of our sides. Ask what you want and I'll answer as best I can and as far as I'm allowed.
