Myers enjoys helping clients secure a competitive edge that will take their businesses to the next level. Often, that edge takes the form of a patent.
A patent attorney registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Myers helps clients protect their valuable assets by preparing and prosecuting patent applications, conducting freedom to operate and patentability searches, and providing litigation support for patent defenses. He also protects clients’ brands by securing and defending trademarks and counseling clients on trade secret protection.
Myers enjoys performing due diligence for clients so they may consider all the necessary factors before deciding whether to buy technologies and/or brands associated with a business target. He also devotes a significant portion of his practice to helping clients draft and negotiate software development and licensing agreements.
Using his degree in biomedical engineering and his experience in the pharmaceutical industry, Myers works with clients in a range of technology areas, including medical devices, consumer products and control systems.
He often works hand in hand with individual entrepreneurs and private startup companies, including those affiliated with St. Louis’ Cortex Innovation Community. As startup clients mature in their businesses, Myers helps them navigate an often challenging legal environment by identifying when to spend their precious resources on legal services.
