Proactive and focused counsel on patent opinion, prosecution and patent litigation

Mike Jaskolski has advised national and multinational companies on patent matters for more than 30 years. He focuses on:

• Clearance, infringement and validity determinations and opinions
• Strategic patent prosecution
• IP enforcement and litigation
• Patent portfolio development and management

Mike is a highly strategic thinker and tenacious advocate for his clients who has written and prosecuted hundreds of U.S. and foreign patents, written more than 1,000 validity and/or infringement opinions in his career, and developed and implemented detailed litigation strategies in many cases.

Mike’s strengths include understanding and protecting the "secret sauce" in his client's innovations using proven strategies that result in robust patent rights and developing bullet proof validity and right-to-use opinions. He quickly and accurately assesses patent infringement risks and defenses and, from the start, plots litigation strategies aligned with specific client goals. Doing so gives clients a strategic advantage: greater certainty in their enforcement and defensive efforts and, when litigation is necessary, a much shorter litigation lifecycle that saves time and money.
