Protect IP, commercialize it, drive revenue

Jack Cook develops sophisticated intellectual property strategies – including portfolio development, licensing and litigation – that drive revenue for large national and international businesses, research institutions and industry-leading startup companies. With a deep understanding of how to leverage the strengths and weaknesses of intellectual property to further business objectives, he:

• Develops and manages large patent portfolios.
• Formulates and implements IP enforcement strategies, including patent licensing and litigation.
• Assesses and implements defenses to allegations of IP infringement, including negotiations, litigation and administrative proceedings, such as inter partes reviews (IPR) and covered-business method (CBM) reviews.
• Counsels clients on strategies for aligning their patent portfolios with business goals, carefully calibrating strategies to the business trajectory of each client.

An important aspect of the business-focused IP strategies that Jack develops with clients is licensing transactions – both in-licensing and out-licensing – together with enforcement and litigation defense.
