Meet Chris

Chris entered the field of patent preparation and prosecution after spending 13 years in industry as a scientist and engineer.  There he held various R&D, process and product development, and product integration positions at companies ranging from a small start-up to a large global corporation and made critical contributions to successful product launches across a range of technologies.

Chris made the move to patent preparation and prosecution partly due to the very traits that led him to the technology industry in the first place - his intense curiosity and tenacious interest in understanding devices and materials on a fundamental physical level.  Patent work quickly proved to be a perfect professional outlet for Chris to pursue these interests.  After spending several years on an in-house team, learning the art through interviewing inventors, drafting claims, writing specifications, and responding to office actions, he joined MBH as a Patent Agent.  Chris sees every new disclosure and office action as an opportunity to learn, whether it’s a technology he’s unfamiliar with or a way to improve his drafting and prosecution, and he approaches his work with the perspectives of both a patent practitioner and an experienced engineer.
