Gene is a US Patent Attorney, Law Professor and the founder of IPWatchdog.com. He teaches a patent bar review course that helps aspiring patent attorneys and patent agents prepare themselves to pass the patent bar exam. Gene’s particular specialty as a patent attorney is in the area of strategic patent consulting, patent application drafting, patent prosecution and technology licensing. He has worked with independent inventors and start-up businesses in a variety of different technology fields. Gene is also the inventor of a unique invention mining and patent drafting system, known as the Invent + Patent System, which enables the submission of detailed answers that form the basis of an extraordinarily detailed invention disclosure and which can be filed immediately as a provisional patent application, or subsequently reviewed, modified, edited and supplemented by a patent attorney or agent before being filed as a non-provisional patent application.

Gene is also known by many as “The IPWatchdog.” Gene started the widely popular intellectual property website IPWatchdog.com in 1999, and since that time the site has had millions of unique visitors. At least in part due to the notoriety he developed through IPWatchdog.com, Gene has been quoted in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the LA Times, CNN Money and various other newspapers and magazines worldwide.

Gene is a member of the Board of Directors of the United Inventors Association, which is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization with the mission of coordinating individual inventors and inventor associations for the express purpose of actively addressing their issues and challenges at both the national and international levels.

Between 2003 and 2007 Gene wrote a monthly column for Patent World and served on the Patent World editorial board. He has also previously taught a variety of intellectual property courses at the law school level, including patent law, patent claim drafting, patent prosecution, copyright law, trademark law and introduction to intellectual property. Between 1998 and 2008 Gene taught at Syracuse University College of Law, Temple University School of Law, The University of Toledo College of Law, Franklin Pierce Law Center and Whittier Law School. Gene presently teaches as an Adjunct Professor for Concord Law School.

Prior to moving into the academic world, Gene was employed at a general civil litigation firm, where he primarily engaged in representing clients involved in complex litigation matters. In addition he was a founding member and managing partner of Smith, Quinn & Associates, a small intellectual property boutique firm located in Concord, New Hampshire, and later a founding member of White & Quinn, a patent boutique located in Northern Virginia. He also spent two years as Vice President and General Counsel for an independent record label in Orlando, Florida. Currently he is a patent attorney with Zies Widerman & Malek.

Gene is admitted to practice law in New Hampshire, is a Registered Patent Attorney licensed to practice before the United States Patent Office (Reg. No. 44,294) and is also admitted to practice before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. As a patent attorney he is able to represent inventors and businesses seeking patents across the United States.

CONTACT GENE

If you would like to speak with an attorney please fill out the contact form below and I will be in touch with you as soon as possible.  Please keep in mind that as an attorney the way that I make my living is by providing services and charging for advice.  I have spent a lot of time putting together IPWatchdog.com, and the pages of this site contain detailed and understandable answers on a wide variety or topics.  As much as I would like to help everyone I just do not have the time to return phone calls to those who are not seriously seeking my services.  Additionally, I am unable to help those who do not have funds to hire an attorney.
