In addition to his extensive trial experience in federal court, Greg also represents clients in due diligence investigations and contested proceedings before the United States Patent and Trademark Office's Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB).

He works closely with scientists and technical experts to analyze complex technologies, conduct prior art and patent landscape analyses, and develop effective litigation strategies grounded in both technical insight and legal precision.

He partners closely with in-house teams to develop practical, efficient litigation strategies aligned with each client's objectives, drawing on a strong scientific foundation rooted in his academic training.
