Femi pairs his detail-oriented background in the chemistry lab with a passion for protecting client innovations.
Femi represents clients in multidisciplinary complex litigation, focusing his practice on patent infringement, particularly the Hatch-Waxman Act. He also has experience litigating Section 337 cases before the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC). He defends and advocates for a vast array of clients across industries, including those in the pharmaceutical, healthcare, technology and telecommunications sectors. Femi has served on legal teams before federal courts in California, Delaware, Missouri, New Jersey and Illinois. He works closely with clients at all phases of litigation from pre-litigation, initial filings, through fact and expert discovery, depositions, claim construction, pre-trial, trial and post-trial.
Understanding that compliance is often the best defense, Femi also counsels clients on a wide range of proactive measures and provides transactional drafting for issues of data privacy and security, data breach preparedness, open source policies, trade secret matters and licensing.
Drawing from his experience as a Patent Examiner at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), Femi also drafts and analyzes a wide range of new technology patent applications, providing clients the broadest scope of coverage available under intellectual property law to protect their ideas and developments. Although he works with businesses at all stages of growth and innovation on this and other matters, he is experienced in assisting early-stage startups and entrepreneurs, offering the support and counseling necessary to launch and grow their companies.
Clients appreciate Femi’s industry knowledge as a former Quality Control Chemist at a global food and agriculture manufacturer, and as an undergraduate chemistry researcher.
