Quantum computing companies regularly file patent applications, but will the patents that result expire before they are commercially relevant, or could they skyrocket in value in a few years? As explained below, this is likely an excellent time to pursue patent protection for quantum technologies. Applicants should, however, present their technology carefully to get the most value out of their patent portfolio. Considerations for drafting a strong quantum patent application are described below.

Mike Attisha counsels clients in a wide range of technologies, with a particular focus on quantum technologies and technologies relating to nuclear physics. Mike has also counseled clients for many years in the additive fabrication (3D printing) space, and is himself a 3D printing hobbyist.

Mike also works on patents for clients relating to electronics, optics, semiconductors, machine learning, electronic music, artificial intelligence, software, and medical devices. He has experience efficiently drafting and prosecuting patent applications, conducting prior art searches, and developing patentability strategies for clients across various industries. Mike has also developed and managed patent portfolios for clients.

Mike has robust experience in patent litigation and post-grant proceedings. He participates in inter partes reviews (IPRs) before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) and has leveraged IPR petitions to negotiate litigation stays and dismissals. Mike provides litigation support, including prior art searches, drafting expert reports, deposition preparation, and non-infringement and invalidity analyses. He has represented clients in matters before the International Trade Commission (ITC) involving technologies such as displays, graphics processing, software, processors, user interfaces, and network communications.
